This was an okay read for me. I liked the general plot of the book, what a nightmare to wake up and think that you are still single and in your twenties but in reality you are married with children and cannot remember a thing! Sarah had no idea that she had married her boyfriend, she did not even know her own children. I liked Sarah as a main character, I felt that her journey throughout the book was hard but I feel that her character handled it well. Sarah’s husband was so patient with her when she tried to revert back to her party days and reconnect with her old friends. I thought that his support throughout the book was nice. Overall I enjoyed the story, it was a quick read.This review was originally posted on

This was an interesting read. Reminded me of Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella and Forget About It by Caprice Crane, but it sadly wasn't as good as either of those books. It was only okay. I was intrigued from the start, but as Sarah resisted the fact she had kids, a husband, that her life was entirely different, I just ended up a bit bored. Her life WAS different, and railing against that fact didn't change a damn thing, it just annoyed me.

The novel could have had huge potential and it was very readable, I just ended up getting bored because it was your typical suburban novel, there was a hint of a mysterious person in Sarah's life, but it just didn't gain any traction I just kept waiting and waiting and waiting for it to come to light who this mysterious L person was (I still don't know - I skimread the last half of the book oops).

So, no, this wasn't really my kind of read. I thought it was, and I gave it the benefit of the doubt, but in the end, I just couldn't stick with it any longer.
