"That's the latest book," Garth the other trainee, says. "It came out ages ago."

I can't help gasping. "There's a sixth Harry Potter?"

“Jennifer Aniston and Her New Man'" I read the words aloud uncertainly. "What new man? Why would she need a new man?"

"Oh yes." Nicole follows my gaze, unconcerned. "You know she split up from Brad Pitt?"

"Jennifer and Brad split?" I stare up at her, aghast. "You can't be serious! They can't have done!"

"He went off with Angelina Jolie. They've got a daughter."

"No!" I wail. "But Jen and Brad were so perfect together! They looked so good and they had that lovely wedding picture and everything...."

“He leans forward and his mouth brushes briefly
against mine, and I feel... nothing.

I was hoping our first kiss would trigger all sorts of memories or sensations, maybe a sudden image of Paris or our wedding, or our first snog. But as he draws away I feel totally, one hundred percent blank.

I can see the anticipation in Eric's face and quickly search for something encouraging to say.

"That was lovely! Very..." I trail off, unable to think of a single word other than quick, which I'm not sure hits the right note.

"It didn't bring back any memories?" Eric is studying my face.

"Well...no," I say apologetically. "But, I mean, that doesn't mean it wasn't really... I mean it was... I feel quite turned on!" The words come out before I can stop them.

What the hell did I say that for? I don't feel turned on.

"Really?" Eric lights up and he puts his briefcase down.

Oh no. No no no. Nooo.”
― Sophie Kinsella, quote from Remember Me?

― Sophie Kinsella, quote from Remember Me?

― Sophie Kinsella, quote from Remember Me?

Popular quotes

“I found my mind wandering at games; loved boxing and was good at it; and in summer, having chosen rowing instead of cricket, lay peacefully by the Stour, well upstream of the rhythmic creaking and the exhortation, reading Lily Christine and Gibbon and gossiping with kindred lotus-eaters under the willow-branches.”
― Patrick Leigh Fermor, quote from A Time of Gifts

“I put down the phone and finished lighting the cigarette. The blue cover of the script caught my eye. I picked up the telephone again. I gave the operator Tony Moroni’s home number”
― Harold Robbins, quote from The Carpetbaggers

“I was back to being polite, the well-tempered paranoid. I didn't have much choice. If I wasn't polite, they could stick me with those needles or put me back in that little room or take away my visitor privileges or any number of other things. Besides, there didn't seem any urgency or anything to be gained by not being polite, the way there had been before. So I was polite. There was time.”
― Mark Vonnegut, quote from The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity

“It was like death by a thousand paper cuts.”
― Tonya Hurley, quote from Homecoming
