 A Really Original Fun Read October 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed this book. It has everything a good chick lit novel should have, a lovable heroine, a guy your desperate for her to be with and lots of funny and weepy moments. A really original fun read that will keep you up late at night turning the pages.
 Easy Holiday Reading October 20, 2008
This book is the perfect 'pick-me'up', if you've been struggling through some heavy tomes or just want to smile, then it's the ideal read. OK, it could be classed as 'chick-lit', and the cover may put a lot of people off - but it really is a pleasing read.
Lexi has been in a car accident, she has amnesia and as far as she is concerned she is way down the career ladder, her boyfriend 'Loser Dave' stood her up last night, she lives in a tiny flat, her teeth are crooked - hence the nickname Snaggletooth and she spends most Friday nights getting drunk on banana cocktails dressed in the latest from New Look.
In fact, it is 2007 and Lexi cant remember the last three years of her life. She doesnt recognise the toned, bronzed person looking back at her from the mirror, and where did those perfect teeth, glossy hair and manicured nails come from? Looking through her designer handbag she finds her business card "Director"! And, biggest shock of all, she's married to multi-millionaire Eric, lives the 'loft living lifestyle' and drives a Mercedes.
At first Lexi is puzzled but thrilled until she finds that her old friends all hate her - he cant work the hi-tech gadgets in her home and her husband has produced an A-Z Marriage Manual!
Well written and very funny in parts but also very poignant. Temporary amnesia has obviously been researched very well and the thought that this could happen to anyone is quite terrifying.
 Very disappointing - not at all like The Undomestic Goddess October 7, 2008

This book was so disappointing. It doesn't have the flow or the same humour as Sophie Kinsella's other writing. The main heroine is annoying, useless and frankly you have so little sympathy for her. I would read Kinsella's other books and avoid this book as it feels rushed through for publication.
 I found it disappointing too... September 20, 2008

I really am a fan of Sophie Kinsella and have laughed until I cried when reading all her other books. This one was a disappointment in comparison - not a completely awful read but despite the far-fetched tale, somehow lacking the ingenuity of her other stories.
You get the sense that there's no real care in the story or the characters and it's devoid of the laugh out loud jokes that characterise her other books.
A shame, then, but I hope we'll soon be reading the next instalment in Shopaholic's life as a yummy mummy and no doubt the author will be back on top form.
An entertaining, light & easy book to read August 13, 2008
A friend let me borrow her copy of this book and I must say, its not the sort of book I would normally choose. However, I was inbetween Amazon deliveries and books just read so I decided to give it a go.
This book made me giggle, it kept me entertained, it was light hearted escapism. It was like watching Heartbeat on a Sunday evening. It was a warm and cosy read. I liked it!
I was crying at the end, not because I was sad or that it was a sad ending. It was a lovely, happy ending and THAT is why I cried, because it was so happy!! Does that make sense?
A good read and I will probably try some of Sophie Kinsellas other novels now.
