  The hallmark of a Sophie Kinsella heroine is her likeability, despite the fact that she may have caused her own problems - but who hasn't used a credit card with too much abandon or told a little white lie that took on a life of its own? In this case ... (read full critics)

  I can't believe it has taken me weeks to finish this. Sophie Kinsella's books are usually funny, easy to read and page-turner like. There is only one explanation: it's a cliche and she has been there and done that too many times.

  I can't believe it has taken me weeks to finish this. Sophie Kinsella's books are usually funny, easy to read and page-turner like. There is only one explanation: it's a cliche and she has been there and done that too many times.

  The story starts with a good premise - Lexi, a cheerful and mediocre office lady, was injured in a car accident and when she woke up three years later, she found that she had led a completely different, dreamlike, powerful and successful life in the past three years, a life of which she had no recollection.

  At first, I thought there had been a conspiracy or something that put Lexi in that situation, i.e. somebody had impersonated her while she was in a coma. It turned out that it was much simpler and hence, less exciting or interesting.

  I think the main reason why this novel is not enjoyable is the one-dimensional character of the protagonist. Lexi is just another Rebecca Bloomwood in Kinsella's Shopaholic series. I just wonder why she bothered to create another book when she could just write a Shopaholic novel with this plot.

  There are some hilarious moments in the book, though.

  I am disappointed with Kinsella rehashing her stories time and again. This should be my last Kinsella's novel.

  This is an enjoyable story. I liked how Lexi was the total opposite kind of person before she lost her memory and thought she had the perfect life after her accident. But then she finds out more and more about being unhappy in the life she thought was so perfect.

  I was hoping that she would remember more than just a sliver of something near the end of the book, but she did not fully regain her memory.
