Can't resist a light read. Read a longgg time ago. Nothing's coming to me.

So torn on how to rate and review this book. It was a fun story where after an accident - the main character loses memory of the last 3.5 years of her life. She doesn't remember how she got to her current job, her husband, her friends etc. The first third - to a half was actually quite stressful for me as she's trying to figure out her life. so while it was well written, it was hard to read it if that makes sense. Enjoyed the ending and overall am glad I stuck it out!

okay fine meh. also, does she mean to tell me that they plant sunflowers every time they're together? That's just ridiculous.

I thought it was a different book when I picked it up. I didn't realize I had read before until over 200 pages in. Not memorable or that good

The heroine of this story- may she be called that- was certainly not a strong female lead, but it's hard to blame the author for that. The character did just have major head trauma and is suffering from amnesia.

This was definitely an entertaining read as she struggles to figure out what relationship she has with her husband and with the man who mysteriously shows up and claims they have a much different past together than what the woman is willing to believe.

This was a decent book, missing two stars only because without the two men there would not be enough personality in the main character to carry the story. If you haven't noticed, I can't even remember her name!

Ok me gustó. La pluma de Sophie me.encanta pero había muchas situaciones que no me llegaron a convencer. Quizás el hecho de que pasará tantos años fingiendo ser alguien que no era o la situación que plantea con Lexi.
Fue una protagonista que no me agrado demasiado. Lo único bueno de ella es que se agarró amnesia para enmendar su vida pero es como raro. No me termina de cerrar algo de la propuesta de la novela. Tendría que analizarla fríamente para saber que me molesta de ella y ahora no tengo ganas. Igualmente misión cumplida me hizo reír e intrigar por partes iguales. Incluso algo más o menos de Sophie Esmas interesante que muchos otros autores...

I try really hard not to discard books before finishing them but sometimes, I just can't take it. This is one of those. The writing style is nice and tight with good dialogue and description but the plot snails along with little development. I just want to shake the main character and smack some sense into her occasionally. The whole helpless thing drives me nuts. I kept waiting for the story to pick up, for SOMETHING to happen. After half way through the book it was still dragging and I just had to put this down.

I know Kinsella is quite popular and there are lots of people who would like really enjoy this book. I'm just not one of them. I couldn't identify with the main protagonist and the plot and pace were slow, slow, slow and too boring.

Transparency is for governments, and pantyhose, you hope. Read the whole Shopaholic series instead. Becky is much more engaging and lovable than this girl. Or just watch that sitcom with Christina Applegate (for the record, I haven't seen it, but I bet it's still better than this book, and much less work to watch.)

It was a sweet read but the characters could be so annoying (especially Amy).

Rating: 2.5 stars
