When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise. Her teeth are perfect. Her body is toned. Her handbag is Vuitton. Having survived a car accident—in a Mercedes no less—Lexi has lost a big chunk of her memory, three years to be exact, and she’s about to find out just how much things have changed. Somehow Lexi went from a twenty-five-year-old working girl to a corporate big shot with a sleek new loft, a personal assistant, a carb-free diet, and a set of glamorous new friends. And who is this gorgeous husband—who also happens to be a multimillionaire? With her mind still stuck three years in reverse, Lexi greets this brave new world determined to be the person she…well, seems to be. That is, until an adorably disheveled architect drops the biggest bombshell of all. Suddenly Lexi is scrambling to catch her balance. Her new life, it turns out, comes complete with secrets, schemes, and intrigue. How on earth did all this happen? Will she ever remember? And what will happen when she does?
Rating: 4.5 Stars, rounded up because I love Kinsella
This is the chick-lit I love, and what I expect from Kinsella. This is my second favorite, after The Undomestic Goddess. I love this idea of a "do over". Our MC, Lexi, is involved in a car accident, and loses 3 years of her life. This apparently was a very metamorphic period in her life, when she did a complete 180 with her life. Unfortunately, not all the changes she made were positive. So here she is, with no memory of those 3 years. We get to be there as Lexi tries to collect the pieces of her life and make sense of it, and it was a lot of fun. This book also has all those other elements I love: a heroine with heart, sweet and adorable romantic bits, and a multitude of zany characters. I have only two Kinsella books left to read, so I will hope for a new book soon.
