I've been reading a lot of books about parenting and healthy eating and other topics that are interesting and important, but not exactly what I would call "fun" reading. I picked up Remember Me? (Sophie Kinsella) as an audiobook at the library a couple weeks ago. Now this is a fun book.
Here's the premise: Lexi Smart falls down and hits her head while out clubbing with her friends. When she wakes up, it's three years later. She finds that she now has a high-powered job. The perfect husband. A beautiful, expensive loft apartment. And no memory of any of it. We tag along with Lexi as she tries to integrate into her new life while uncovering secrets about the last three years.
This isn't intellectual literary fiction; it's make-you-laugh-out-loud fun. And even though I could guess what was going to happen, this book had me hooked until the end. (Picture me setting up the cd player next to my sewing machine so I could listen to it during my naptime chores.)
If you do read this book as an audiobook, just note that it's not suitable for young listeners. So you may find yourself being thankful for red lights and taking the long way to pick up the kids from school.
