Remember Me?

Amnesia….
I changed the book I will be reading for this quarter. Thanks to Julie, I’ve started one of the most enjoyable books I’ve read in awhile. It’s really funny, and a nice light read.

Lexi (the main character) gets into a car crash and looses her memory. She can remember everything up to three years before the crash. Unfortunately this means she can’t remember her husband, friends, job specifics, or who she is… Also, it doesn’t exactly help that she was a very ambitious woman when the accident happened, but three years before she was a low self-esteem, low totem pole worker who thought tight purple shirts were attractive.

So far, Lexi has been let out of the hospital and brought back home to her beautiful, remote control home. To her dismay, she finds herself constantly screwing up while trying to be the professional she once was. It’s absolutely shocking how she has transformed from her tacky old self into such a polished businesswoman.

Her husband, Eric writes a book that gives her details on everything she used to do. (Like, what she normally eats for breakfast). Some of the things she used to do come naturally to her, like complicated yoga moves and how to walk in heels. It’s all in the muscle memory. (how ever, she can’t remember how to drive a car…which might be a good thing)

When Lexi goes back to work, she discovers that she can’t remember her assistants, or even what she is supposed to be doing in her position. The company relies on her as the head of her department, but she is completely useless. It takes the workers a while to realize that she can’t be depended on for all the answers anymore. I wonder how long Lexi will be able to keep up with their demands before collapsing under the confusion and pressure? Is the old Lexi up to handling the modern Lexi’s life?
