What if you woke up one morning to find you'd lost three years of your life and your world had changed from dull and depressing to a supercharged 'it' girl existence seemingly overnight. After suffering a bump on the head, Lexi wakes in hospital to find she has a gorgeous millionaire husband, a successful career, designer lifestyle and complete memory loss of the last three year of her life. At first she can't believe her luck but as the story unfolds, all is not as it first appears to be. Why do all Lexi's former friends hate her?, why does her swanky apartment contain none of her previously adored possessions? why is she strangely attracted to a dark and brooding architect? and why does she have the strongest recollection of sunflowers?

An excellent summer read with a wonderful feel good ending that pieces Lexi's jigsaw back together in hugely satisfying style. Another hit from Kinsella!

Kinsella's latest book is everything you expect it to be and more. The right mix of humour and emotion is evoked as you become engrossed in Lexi's attempts to rebuid her life after she is struck by amnesia in a car accident and can't remember the past three years. With a body, a best friend, a job and a husband that she doesn't recognise, it's roller coaster of events.
