you might remember this

I also wasn't supposed to read Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella this past week, but I had requested it from the library and once I picked it up I only had it for two weeks, since it is so new. So obviously I had to read it.
It was alright- but I guess the problem with any amnesia premise is I keep waiting the whole book through to see if the person is going to 'wake up', and really, either way it seems slightly unsatisfying. So I don't know what to hope for the character. This one seemed to end with some hope, but only if you exclude certain essentially blameless people from consideration.
That and at least there weren't any children involved- I don't know what would be worse- not remembering you own child, or being a child and having your Mother not remember you...
