Remember Me? – Sophie Kinsella
Title: Remember Me?
Author: Sophie Kinsella
I have been a fan of Sophie Kinsella for years, ever since her Shopaholic books found their way into my life. They were my first experience with Chick Lit, and continue to be the books I use when trying to explain the genre to someone who has no clue.
That being said, Remember Me? was another Kinsella hit. I was a bit skeptical of the plot – a woman who has lost her memory, forced to figure out what has gone on in the past three years and survive the life she created. It sounded as though I would be able to guess the plot changes, but I was pleasantly surprised. Kinsella did a good job of adding in slight twists that urged me to continue reading (rather than assume the same old same old would be happening). I love her writing style, and the ending left me satisfied without being totally predictable. The character development was pretty good, though I did question how quickly some of the previous “friends” changed their attitudes – I haven’t been in that particular situation, though, so I can’t judge it too much.
