Like all of Kinsella’s protagonists, Lexi is quirky and a bit off-center. The characters are extremely well written and appealing.
Remember Me? is funny, witty, and absolutely charming it is perhaps Kinsella’s best work yet. So what if everyone at the office not-so-secretly wishes she hadn’t recovered from the car accident? And so what if her oldest friends don’t want anything to do with her anymore? And does it really matter if her new husband scolds her like a child for not putting her shoes away properly? Remember Me? is the tale of Lexi’s quest to discover what happened to her during those three years to turn her into a person whom she doesn’t physically or emotionally recognize, and what she does when she finds out that her new life may not be as picture perfect as it seems. Lexi finds that she has everything she has ever wanted: she is beautiful, married to a ridiculously good-looking guy, makes a lot of money, and lives in the most beautiful loft she has ever seen. In reality, she’s actually a member of the Board of Directors of that flooring company and is waking up from a minor car accident in 2007. In her mind, she’s a struggling assistant manager at a flooring company who just had a typical crazy night out with her girlfriends in 2004. Why? Because Lexi has no memory of the past three years. The frizzy hair is gone, replaced by a sleek, shiny mane, and the lifelong nickname “Snaggletooth” just doesn’t apply anymore…and why do her lips look suspiciously plumper? She doesn’t even believe the Louis Vuitton handbag that the nurse hands her is actually hers. She wakes up in a hospital one to find that she doesn’t recognize herself – literally. What happens if you wake up one morning and realize that all of your dreams have magically come true overnight? That’s what happens to Lexi Smart.
