Synopsis

Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital with no idea how she got there — and, far more alarmingly, no memory of the last three years of her life. The last thing she remembers, she was twenty-five: crooked-toothed, broke, stuck in a dead-end job and a going-nowhere relationship, out on the town with her girlfriends.

Now she's twenty-eight, and everything has changed. She has perfect teeth, a toned body, a designer wardrobe, and a gleaming loft apartment. She's a director at her company with an assistant of her own. And, most bewildering of all, she has a gorgeous, doting, multimillionaire husband she doesn't remember marrying. It seems Lexi has become the woman she always dreamed of being — so why does none of it quite feel like her?

Then a disheveled, disarming architect turns up with a revelation that upends everything, and Lexi begins to suspect her perfect new life is built on secrets she can't recall. To work out who she really is — and who she can trust — she'll have to piece together the missing years before they piece her back together.

A warm, sparkling standalone comedy from Sophie Kinsella about memory, reinvention, and the sometimes uncomfortable distance between the life we want and the life that's actually ours.
