Mini Book Review #2

On a recent trip (which I'll write about later) I read two books. They are both 'chick lit' and were lots of fun to read while sitting on airplanes.

Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella is about a woman who loses her memory after an accident. In fact she's lost several years of her memory and awakens to a husband she doesn't know and a life she doesn't remember. Think Samantha Who? with a British twist. Kinsella is also the author of the Shopaholic books.

The other book I read was Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. I expected a breezy chick lit-style book but was pleasantly surprised at how well Giffin describes what it is like to fall in love. Giffin's abiltity to describe emotion and feeling made this book much deeper and relatable that I expected when I read the back cover. In fact I cried reading the last few pages. That's not to say this wasn't funny, witty and a great read.

Still mulling over my next book choice. Looking for ideas.
