On the heels of reading [book:Can You Keep a Secret?|33724], this book was a major disappointment.

Junior assistant Lexi Smart has a car accident and wakes up with complete amnesia. The last thing she remembers happened 3 years ago and now she has the perfect executive job, the most gorgeous husband imaginable, a stunning penthouse apartment, a housekeeper, and the perfect body and face. The only problem is that she doesn't remember how she got to this most perfect place. Erik, the perfect husband...NOT, is seriously OCD and anal retentive besides. He actually pens a marriage manual to help her remember their life with sections on being neat, sex (when, what and how often), etc.

The premise is excellent but I just didn't like the characters and I hated Erik. With her bitch boss attitude, Lexi alienated all of her friends at work and now she's trying way too hard to get them back. Her pathetic attitude got on my every last nerve. The only characters I actually liked were Fiona and John. In the last 100 pages or so, Lexi finally takes back her life and becomes the person she was before she became the bitch boss from hell. There were moments of humor especially from her delinquent sister Amy but for the most part this book is majorly depressing.
