Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella

If waking up in a hospital room was a shock for Lexi Smart, then seeing her reflection was an even bigger one. Her teeth are fixed, she's slim and apparently three years older than what she remembers. But that's not all. Somewhere in between not having much money and owning a BMW, Lexi got married to "Adonis" and it seems as though her life is perfect. But after she dives into it, she realizes people don't like the Lexi she can't remember.
Desperate for everyone to see her as the funny and awkward twenty-five year old she again is and not the twenty-eight years old (too) ambitious business woman she's not (anymore, at least), Lexi starts losing control. Not that she ever had it in the first place. Disappointment increases once she finds out that along with her dreams, Lexi had betrayed her principles as well.

Remember me? would be a nice story of finding oneself if the main characters weren't typical for chick lit. Like the other Kinsella's books I've read, although truly alive, the characters are, well, predictable. The girl is always awkward, but pretty (due to dieting, of course) and men are handsome and witty gods. Still, one can't say they're boring. Embarrassing situations Lexi gets herself in are what makes the book a delightful read. Because even when you're ninety-eight percent sure of what happens next, you won't be able not to laugh at what the characters say. Humour is what sells her books.

Although Kinsella's got millions of fans, I would give this book a two and a half out of five and only because of the laughs it will inflict upon your mind and quite a few bright ideas that will make you want to be Lexi.

So if you'll have some extra time during the holidays, I suggest you start reading. Silence and concentration isn't really needed.
