Remember This
Blame it on the wine...When Lucy learns that her husband, Mason, has cheated on her, she does what any distressed woman in her situation would do--she throws a wine bottle at him. She is stunned that she actually makes contact with his head, and even more shocked to learn that the bottle-to-head connection has caused Mason to lose his memory. The quirky side of Lucy, fueled by guilt, with a hint of revenge, shines through as she acknowledges her responsibility for Mason's illness and accepts the challenge of helping him recover from his amnesia. Even though Lucy wants to help Mason get back to normal, she doesn't see the harm in having a little fun along the way. The story follows Lucy's comical attempts to sabotage Mason and his mission to win her back.

Oh, my dear god. Holy mother of god. Motherfucking what the fucking hell did I just read? :O
I'm sorry to say this, but Shae Buggs bugs the motherfucking hell out of me. She has absolutely no sense of grammar. At all. To say that the tense is all over the place would be an understatement. It was so bad, it literally gave me a headache. And she's a bestselling author? What? How? Did she make her family and friends buy her books in bulk? I'm sorry I'm being such a bitch here, but how can you publish a book that has more grammatical errors than I have bacteria in my stomach? Buggs doesn't know the difference between 'less' and 'fewer', and uses both words interchangeably in circumstances that one should ideally not. The highlight for me, though was that Ms. Buggs doesn't get the whole your/you're deal.
The humour is about as fake as Donatella Versace's face, and it tries too, too hard to appeal to the reader. Buggs likes elaborating on every single point, and as I have mentioned many, many times before, readers like it better if you show them, not tell them everything. If you've mentioned once that you're clumsy, and that your colleagues keep asking how your trip was, we get that you tripped over a wire, and didn't fly to Spain in the span of a working day.
All Lucy does is whine and wine and do stupid things like throwing a bottle of wine at her husband rather than, you know, talking about her issues like a normal wife would, with her husband. and her husband is like Casanova or something; he flirts with anything that has a vagina. Lucy is one of the most immature motherfuckers I've ever had the displeasure to read of; I mean, she actually thinks money can buy happiness. What the actual fuck? She's a self-confessed workaholic who barely has time for anything else, which, according to me is probably why her husband hates her in the first place. When her husband, after being hit on the head by her bottle of wine is lying unconscious on the kitchen floor, her first thought is "oh, shit, look at all that wine going to waste", rather than "my husband might just be dead". She even names the 'butterfly in her stomach' Henry. I can't even go there. She wants a shark to bit his penis off, or something. I know twelve year-olds more mature than her.
If only Ms. Buggs had spent half the time she spent writing unnecessary crap on good grammar instead, we may have had a better book. But then again, she's the bestselling author. Not me.

This was just not good.
February 28, 2013
This was hands down, the worst book I've ever had the misfortune of coming across. Right out of the gate, it made ZERO sense. The main character is a walking cliché, right down to being a successful workaholic with a "too hot" husband. It was a simple read, and not in a good way. There was a serious lack of imagination and the characters had no depth. It seemed like a college girl fantasy with it's shallow plot. Grammatical and spelling errors made this book nearly impossible to read. I was glad that I did not spend the $2.99 to purchase this book. I would not even recommend it if it was free.

Remember This is one of those books that gives you the perfect escape you need from your hectic life. Give yourself a few hours, kick back on your couch in front of the fire place and settle in with your two favorite boyfriends (Ben & Jerry), and a nice glass (or bottle) of vino to get lost in the crazy world of Lucy Harper.
Lucy is fun, eccentric, a bit neurotic, your best friend, and everything you wish you could be in the real world. She battles the roller-coaster of emotions that take over after being thrown into an unusual set of circumstances with her very sexy, soon-to-be divorcee. Unafraid to let loose, Lucy messes with him like we all dream of doing to those men in our lives who have screwed us over.
Remember This is a fun and flirty re-romance that leaves you with some determination to give second chances and to not sweat it when acting a little crazy is something that needs to happen now and then.

This was a more fun than I was expecting it to be. Less overall humor than I thought but a couple parts truly made me laugh! Lucy is a strange one. Seriously, who treats someone with amnesia like that?! I get she is pissed but she the violent one who hit him after assuming he cheated on her. I mean, the evidence was pretty bad and I'd assume the same but still! Then to be vengeful to a guy who has no idea who she even is, let alone why she is made, is wrong! He gets her back though, but at that point but so much of it is too childish for me. I like how they get to re-learn about each other though. Some cute moments.

Too many grammatical errors and spelling oversights for my liking. Plus, at the end of it he decides to follow his dream and she is "appalled"?? How is this possible when she was championing for him to do it when he had "amnesia"? And seriously, someone needs to call the cops on this woman because she OV-ER-RE-ACTS. A wine bottle and then mud flinging!? Really?! How is she not in jail!!?? Throughout the entire book I found the main character to be selfish and off-putting. If you don't like your husband then GTFO. It's not that hard. Why is she going to sleep in a different room and abstain from sex and then freak out and throw a wine bottle at him when she sees someone's bra in their living room? WHAT DID YOU EXPECT LADY!? And they have a wedding in Mexico THREE TIMES but the last time is "a lot less simple"?? Yes, because booking a wedding at a Mexican beach-front resort SCREAMS simple. Don't waste your time on this book.

This was a freebie so I downloaded it. I couldn't finish it bc it was so awful. The plot barely made sense, the "heroine" was awful, and so many grammatical errors. I got to a your/you're situation and just stopped reading.

Geeze, everyone is super harsh on this book. Let's not forget it was a FREE kindle download. FREE, people. It's not going to be The Great Gatsby for crying out loud. I thought it was cute. Had some funny little parts. Good read for summer time lounging around.

Two thumbs up
I loved this book. I loved the main character Lucy. I actually laughed out loud at several parts of this book.

This book held promise. It started off okay. Most women would love to hit their spouse on the head with something if they suspected them of cheating in the family home. And the scene was funny. I did like the internal dialogue of the h most of the time. I just wish we had more from the H POV. I did not understand his motivations at all. Some of his actions were very questionable, i.e., the drink in Mexico. While a klutzy character can be funny, it began to feel overdone and too much happened at the h's expense. It stopped being funny - she was almost left with no dignity. The dialogue was very stilted and pulled me out of the story because I would think, "Who talks like this." The idea of this book was promising, but the execution needs work.

I couldn't even finish this. It was too frivolous for me. The main character wants to exact revenge on her husband, but there was not enough time spent on making the reader feel anger or compassion for her plight before she's actually executing her plan. It also doesn't feel right to be doing this to a guy who has amnesia. Maybe by stopping too early I missed a plot twist or something, but this has the feeling of a book that was written by someone who experienced this and wanted to share, but it's very one-sided and the characters are not fleshed out enough in the beginning to make you connect with them. Kind of a shame, as the premise of the book was rather interesting.

This was a cute idea for a story. I was a little annoyed and distracted by the number of grammatical and spelling errors. It seems like the author didn't use an apostrophe throughout the entire book, even when they were needed. There were also a number of words that do not exist in any dictionary I checked. She seemed to make up words to fit her sentences. However the story was enjoyable and quite humorous at times. I may look for this author again.

This was a really fun, quick read and a definite page turner! One of the best romantic comedies i have read in a while! The book had me laughing and crying right along with the characters! Highly recommend it!!

A really easy read
I really enjoyed this book and read it very quickly. Perhaps a little predictable and cheesy in places but a relaxing and easy read. Would certainly recommend it.

Terrible writing, including your/you're errors! However, it was a cute concept and somewhat entertaining. I'm so glad I didn't pay for it!

Laugh out Loud Funny

I can't give this 1 as it made me smile occasionally and I did actually finish it. But this was not a good book. The text in my kindle version changed font periodically and what can I say about the heroine? I hated her. She was a nasty very immature horrible person who certainly doesn't deserve her husband. The humour was lacking and often the characters would be crying with laughter when the reader hadn't even raised a smile. The characters had way more money than your average person which meant as a reader it was hard to relate and I thought Lucy was just a spoilt rich bitch. Shame really as it could have been so much better. Poor and predictable I am afraid.

Classic chick lit!! Midly amusing in places but all a bit daft really. Still it was a quick, easy read after Moll Flanders!
Lucy, a hard working shenanigan queen, finds evidence that her husband, Mason, cheated on her. In a heated moment, she throws a wine bottle at his head leaving him unable to remember anything from his past. Since she is responsible for her husband’s amnesia, it is her responsibility to get his memory back. Motivated by revenge, Lucy plans a way to get Mason back to normal while having a little fun in the process. This story unveils her comical attempts to sabotage him and how he tries to win her back.

there are some mixed reviews and I have to say I agree with them. Now I wouldn't give this and 1 star it wasn't trash but essentially this book was like one of those hallmark movies or lifetime movies that are made during Christmas or something like that. There were some grammar issues but not as many glaring ones as i was lead to believe. If you love the hallmark movies or they are a guilty pleasure read for you i would recommend this to you otherwise I wouldn't waste your time I would give this book a 2.5/3 stars because of these points

Late night reading during a work night but so worth it
The author gets you so involved in the story that you can't put it down from the 1st page. The characters are funny and you laughed throughout the book But you also feel the hurt in despair As well. I enjoy this story I will suffer tomorrow through work But I feel like a new family a new group of people people people people they have I'm hanging up in a fun way.

Thin line between love and hate
A marriage falling apart, a wine bottle to the head...amnesia and perhaps a second chance to fix what was lost. I loved the quirkyness of the characterd and the humor in their interactions. I cringed at some parts and wowed at others. This is a fun read :)

Mehhh. Story was alright. I must admit that having so much drama come from communication problems and half-truth. On that point, the story was pretty accurate. I think generally people have communication short comings and don't give their partner the benefit of the doubt enough.
September 28, 2017
the worst read ever I am not the best writing and even spelling correctly and if I'm taking me red pen to fix your mistakes its bad. this boojs may be an easy read but with all the issues and the frustrating main character does not make this book good. save ur time and don't read it.

Fun read
I really enjoyed reading this book. The plot is clever and funny. It is certainly something to which a lot of people can relate. There have been times when I lost my temper and did foolish things.

Very funny!
Shae Buggs had me from the first sentence to the last. This book had it all friends, family, revenge, weddings and memory loss. Plenty of laughs and crazy situations that the main character finds herself in. A frivolous story that you can read in a few hours.

Ugh. This is listed as a romantic comedy. I don’t like reading romance novels, but I had hopes it wouldn’t be too bad with the humor tag. Not really any humor. Totally predictable. The only positive is that it was quick.
August 15, 2019
Lucy is a typical distracted girl, invested in her career and life. If only she’d invested the same amount of time into her marriage with her husband Mason
This was a lighthearted holiday read that I enjoyed

Readable
A story about relationships. The things that go wrong, right and challenge them. The importance of communication or lack thereof. Interesting mix of characters but the storyline was a bit tedious at times.
