Remember Me? - Sophie Kinsella

Excerpt:

When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a ondon Hospital she's in for abig 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 gorgous husband - who also happens to be a multimilionaire? With her mind still stuck three years in reverse, Lexi greets this brave new word determined to be the person she...well seems to be. That is, until an adorably disheveled archtect 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 Review:

The story is very different and unique. I kept on wondering till the end if what happened to her was for real or just a dream. Will her memory ever comes back? I can't stop reading just to know it. While reading the novel, I felt like I was also Lexi . I don't know who was really telling the truth. What really happened? I can't also help but wonder.

Forgetting your memory is a very difficult thing to experience. It will surely drive you crazy. Everybody will fill you with different stories. You wouldn't know who really cares for you and who are just taking advantage of your situation. Lexi learned the truth from her own flesh and blood. They gave her a lot of information of what really happened to her before the accident and about her past life. I've realized that family still will always be the one who will give you full support in spite of your differences. You will also know who you're true friends. They will be there for you in this time of crisis in your life. You would also know the real meaning of love. When Lexi asked her lover what he loves about her. He answered: "I don't know. The essence of you. I can't turn it into a list." Wow, that's so sweet and romantic! I could just melt. Love is all around!

Even though in the end Lexi didn't really remember her past, what happened to her set her free. She has regained her true self and found her real happiness. Nice one!

Love, Rosie - Cecelia Ahern


I would like to share my recent novel reading. Here's the excerpt:


Rosie and Alex are destined for each other, and everyone seems to know it but them. Best friends since childhood, they are separated as teenagers when Alex and his family relocate from Dublin to Boston. Like two ships always passing in the night, Rosie and Alex stay friends, and though years pass, the two remain firmly attached via E-mails and letters. Heartbroken, they learn to live without each other. But destiny is a funny thing, and in this novel of several missed opportunities, Rosie and Alex learn that fate isn't done with them quite yet.

My review:


It's been awhile since I've read a novel. Love, Rosie is a beautiful novel full of exciting events and adventure. I can't barely stop myself from reading. But as I continue reading it, I got somewhat irked, not much happy of their progress. It seems that this does not happen in real life. Or if ever this happens, it is really a rare love story. To waste so much time. That they should have been together long ago. The excitement of it all was lost. Even if they end up together in the end but still they were already old. I don't want it to happen to me. My motto is "It's now or never". If you don't want me now, i will not wait for you anymore! I will find someone who will love and want me now. If you can't fix your mind now then that's your problem anymore.
