Book: Remember Me?

Title: Remember Me?
Author: Sophie Kinsella
Thoughts: I love the way Kinsella writes chick lit. I got a little tired of the Shopaholic books, and haven't even read the latest one yet, but this is a departure from that character and I enjoyed it very much. I love the way Kinsella takes chick lit norms and uses them deftly. Even when something walks the border of cliche, it is saved by cleverness and good writing. So many chick lit authors get the romance, girl-of-the-world, girlfriends and cocktails thing nailed, only to fall down as second-rate writers. Sophie Kinsella always has a good voice, and doesn't resort to the telling-not-showing.
