Before I Go To Sleep By S.J. Watson

Best Blogger Tips
Before I Go To Sleep is they story of Christine who suffers from extreme memory loss. Each morning she awakens in a strange bed, beside a strange man. She has no memory of her life after her accident 20 years ago. Everyday Christine's husband, Ben, explains to her that she has lost her memory of the past and her ability to retain new memories. One day she receives a call from Dr. Nash who tells her about a journal she has been keeping secretly from her husband. While rereading her daily journal entries she notices Ben has not been retelling the same story. From here, Christine is set on a path to uncover Ben's lies and to discover the truth about her condition.

This novel is written by UK author S.J. Watson. The language differences do not hinder the readability of the book. It was thrilling to follow Christine through her discoveries because the reader's perspective is also restricted by her amnesia. There were many shocking twists and turns all leading to the explosive conclusion. This was a good read and I recommend it to anyone who likes a puzzling book with a great ending. I give it a Thumbs Up.


Author S.J. Watson
