Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson
Adult Thriller
This book will give you a very creepy feeling. You are reading this book with a narrator that you're not sure you can trust, who also doesn't even trust herself! As a reader, you have no idea what is real and what isn't. You're not sure what's important in the book, what's a clue, what's a red herring. After awhile, you can understand the madness of the narrator......or is she mad???
Is she reliable??? That is the question that will haunt you all the way through.
Christine wakes up every day as if it is her first day and her last day-because it is! Years ago, she was the victim of an accident or crime and she suffers from a form of amnesia. She only remembers her present day. As soon as she goes to sleep, everything is erased and she wakes up with a blank-slate mind.
She soon finds a journal that her psychologist has asked her to keep. In the journal, she finds a note that days, 'Don't trust Ben'. Ben? Her husband and biggest supporter? What is going on? Christine has to work at finding out if this note is reliable and if her mind is reliable and if her memories, such as they are, are reliable. As a reader, you're working just as hard as she is to figure the whole thing out.
I absolutely loved this book! I could not put it down. I loved that I found out everything right along with the main character. It's like a ball of yarn unraveling....right into the cat's mouth!
