Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson
5.0
Everyday its the same thing over and over again for Christine. Except she cant remember it.
She wakes up every morning without a memory. She doesn’t know who’s bed she is in, who’s house she is in, why she is middle aged when she last remembers being in her 20s, and who the man is that lays next to her.
Everyday the unfamiliar man must tell her that he is her husband, she is in fact in her 40s and that she had a terrible accident that stopped her ability to form new memories and wipes the ones she does create as soon as she goes into a deep sleep.
Dr. Nash has been helping her to try to find the cause of why she cant remember. He suggests she writes in a journal everyday- things she does, who she sees, what memories pop up. As she does this for a few weeks she begins to remember more tiny fragments from her life that she once thought were gone forever, but it also causes her to question things.
Can anyone really be trusted? Who is telling her the truth?
Christine begins to question if her son is truly dead, if her husband really her husband, and if her accident really was just an “accident”.
A fast paced read that will keep you guessing. My first read from this author and I must say, I loved this book. The concept was intriguing, especially from my past work with folks who have brain injuries, but also the twists and turns that take place. Highly recommend.
