Book reviews

I have recently read Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella and Dorothy on the Rocks by Barbara Suter. I will start with Sophie's book. I really enjoyed this book. It was a good light read about a woman who has a car accident and doesn't remember anything that has happened in the past five years. She wakes up in a hospital with her last memory being of her night on the town with friends 5 years earlier. When she wakes up, she has a better body, better clothes, and a gorgeous husband. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember getting any of these. She spends the rest of the novel finding out about her life and improving upon her already improved upon life.
Dorothy on the Rocks is about a 40-something year old named Maggie. This novel takes the reader through the ups and downs of being a single, older woman who hasn't fulfilled her dreams of being a famous actress/singer. Through the book she starts a romance with a much younger man who seems perfect. Later on he meets a tragic fate and she learns that he was not that perfect. She also has a fairy godmother who is a representation of a dear friend she lost to AIDS. The book it heart-breaking at times and at times you find yourself laughing out loud.
