While by no means as dark as "Vera" or "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", I think the author did an exceptionally fine job of treating a difficult subject in an inviting, humorous to say nothing in a quite accessible manner. It took me a couple of chapters before I figured out we were in new territory. Kinsella, all hot fudge on Dutch chocolate ice cream with no thinking involved just delightful and restful. I have a general expectation of fluff from Ms. Girls, if you meet any of these gentlemen, beware. These kinds of men are captivating, engaging, controlling, selfish and can be very dangerous. John Rivers in Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" and Captain Aylmer in Anthony Trollope's "The Belton Estate". Weymyss in "Vera" by Elizabeth von Arnim St. Huntington in "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Bronte Tito in "Romola" by Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot) Mr. Eric Gardener joins a line of fictional characters who are not in my good graces such Mr. A man just doesn't treat the woman he loves the way he treated Lexi. I took a quick dislike to the rich handsome Eric Gardener. Young women in search of husbands would do well to pay attention. This one is a bit different, pink, chewy and sweet but at its heart is a very serious matter. Her books are nice bubble gummy good and require no effort.
I just finished "Can you keep a secret?" It was my first by her and I thoroughly enjoyed it and decided to try some others. This book reminds me of the "Jane Austen Addict" story line: girl wakes up in a body and life she doesn't remember and has much work to do getting her mind and life back together. How on earth did all this happen? Will she ever remember? And what will happen when she does? Her new life, it turns out, comes complete with secrets, schemes, and intrigue. Suddenly Lexi is scrambling to catch her balance. That is, until an adorably disheveled architect drops the biggest bombshell of all. 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. And who is this gorgeous husband - who also happens to be a multimillionaire?
Somehow Lexi went from a 25-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. Having survived a car accident, 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. When 28-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise. With the same wicked humor and delicious charm that have won her millions of devoted fans, Sophie Kinsella, author of the number one New York Times best seller Shopaholic & Baby, returns with an irresistible new novel.
