Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital after a car accident believing it is 2004, her teeth are crooked, and she is a low-level worker with a messy dating life. Instead, she discovers three years have vanished from her memory. It is actually 2007, and she has transformed into a sleek corporate director with a millionaire husband, a perfect designer wardrobe, and a luxury penthouse. As she navigates her unfamiliar, high-stakes reality, she finds that her new persona is widely disliked. She must piece together her forgotten history through strange clues, a hidden office romance, and the realization that her ideal life is built on secrets.
Readers who enjoy romantic comedies centered on identity and second chances will find this a quick, humorous study of character growth. It appeals to those interested in the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be for success. The story offers a look at how professional ambition can isolate an individual from their original values and friends. A reader finishes the book with a perspective on the importance of authenticity over outward perfection and the idea that losing one's memory might be the only way to find one's true self.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
