What its about (from Random House): 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?

My thoughts: I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I had read good reviews on it and most said it was funny and interesting...they were right! I actually chuckled to myself on many occasions throughout the book! What an interesting storyline...and you go through the entire journey right along with Lexi as if we are watching it all unfold at the same time as she is. Each character was unique and interesting in their own way. The story makes you think too - how would life be if we actually got everything we 'think' we want?! Interesting... The ending is a bit predictable, but thats what you expect with a book like this. I have many other books on my shelf by Kinsella that I have never read, I may have to dig some out now and see if they are as funny as this one!

Overall score: 4.25/5

Seriously, I am impressed by all your book reading! And I am inspired to read a few of these books. Where do you find the time? Do you read before bed or just randomly? I need to get back into reading books more and with summer coming its a good opportunity to do that since my tivo will be a bit lighter than normal:)

So I have some TV books I have been reading (I am sucker for those) and I have about three of them I want to read but b/c they aren't stories they are not always easy to keep going at once but I might start with the 4th traveling pants. I have been been re-reading my harry potter though via my ipod. You need to put those on your list!
