Remember Me? is out in hardback now, and I’d say that unless you are a diehard Sophie Kinsella fan, you won’t miss out by waiting for the trade paperback release. Her ability to balance humor and humanity is certainly a primary reason she’s the reigning queen of British chick lit. I appreciate the way she pokes a lot of fun at the newly moneyed young Brits, but never makes fun of them. There are a few such moments in Remember Me? that are snort-worthy, but never at a character’s expense. Maybe a phrase that has a special meaning for a married couple. Sophie Kinsella is always talented at taking odd little moments and getting humor out of them- a toilet that won’t flush during a party, for instance. Secondary characters were well written, but none of them had depth. I never felt any kind of connection between the two, and I never got the impression that Lexi did, either. Why was he affair-worthy? I know this isn’t a romance, but I needed a little more show and a little less tell. Jon, Lexi’s erstwhile lover, was a much harder character to get a handle on. The second half of Remember Me?, when Lexi is starting to take control of her life again, was more fun for me than the first half. However, when she goes back to work she finds a project to really believe in, and she morphed into a character with backbone. I knew I was supposed to like her, but at that point I was having a hard time. At first she’s excited by waking up to a shiny new life, but as she comes to realize it’s not what she really wants, she starts to pout. Lexi spends a good part of the book being aimless and a tad bit whiny. So she begins the task of navigating her life anew, and finding out that other than the designer handbags and her new figure, she really doesn’t like it at all – and Lexi hasn’t even found out she has a lover yet. That doesn’t really change when confronted with the new and improved Lexi’s life her husband has to write her a handbook on how to deal with it. The Lexi Smart that narrates Remember Me? is introduced in a short prologue, and she’s a bit of a mess. Oh, and there’s also a gorgeous and successful husband now. Apparently, she’s made some BIG changes in her life she’s transformed herself physically, gotten promoted at work, changed all her friends, and become everything she always wanted to be. Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, with no memories of the last three years.
