I wish I could give this book 4.5 stars. I more than "liked it," but wouldn't necessarily call it "amazing." It was a very clever tale of Jordan Landau, a 25-year-old ad agency employee (almost the lowest rung on the ladder), who hated her boyfriend, her mother, and her boss. So one day, while riding her bike down the crowded, rainy streets of NYC, she's hit by a car. In the hospital she has a flash of brilliance. Why not just fake amnesia? Now was her chance to reinvent herself. With the help of her best friend, Todd, that is just what Jordan does. So ensues the real adventures of Jordan Landau, amnesia patient. the story follows her attempts at balancing cultivating a "new" life and trying to maintain her lie. But then one day, a curveball gets thrown into the mix, and puts the brakes on her little game. Now Jordan has to figure her life out for real, and figure out what it is she truly wants. Dun dun dun!
Actually it was realy cute. It was well written, and quirky, both qualities I've come to expect from Caprice Crane. It was frought with pop-culture references and song lyrics. There were some laugh-out-loud moments and some gasp-out-loud moments. There was even a I-know-it's-2am-but-I-can't-sleep-because-I-need-to-know-what's-going-to-happen-next moment. I read it in about 2-3 days. It was a lot of fun. :)

Not the best book I've read recently, but it kept me entertained. A lot of it made me think of a hallmark movie. At times, I felt like the book was too long and just drug on and on.

This book was pretty cheeseball and also kind of frustrating at times.. But basically this girl pretends to have amnesia because her life sucks. I liked the concept and the book was pretty good. But some parts you were just like yelling at the character wanting her to stop being so dumb... Haha but usually that is a pretty good test of a book

I read this book quiet a while ago... But one thing I remember is laughing out loud. A lot. This book was hilarious. It's a story about a girl, Jordan landau, who pretends to lose her memory to start her life over. The situations where she gets back at people she disliked was hilarious. But of course a lie can't last forever and she needs to set things straight again, which is the journey we take with her. At the time I found Caprice cranes writing refreshing, her humour contemporary. A good book for a cozy night in.

I enjoyed it, and only had a few moments where I thought "how is she going to wrap this up" -- and I didn't see the ending coming (I had my own ideas, but I liked how the story ended anyway)
I like that she mentions that you don't need to fake amnesia to reinvent yourself...you can do it every day. If you don't like who you are, Change.

Crane makes me LOL - a true laugh out loud (apologies to my co-workers for my snort-laughs). She once again developed a character who you root for AND want to smack upside the head.
