Real Readers Sacrifice Sleep

If you are willing to lose a little sleep, you might want to give this book a try. I read this book in its entirety in one evening into the wee morning hours. This is NOT a book that you want to just keep reading and savor; you have to keep reading because you will not rest easy until it's over!

Christine is a woman who wakes up in a stranger's bed-- all because she loses her memory every single night when she goes to sleep. Every day is different and she is trying to figure out the mystery that is her life. Her husband, Ben, and her neurologist attempt to help her put the pieces together, and she uses a journal to write down her new discoveries each day. One day she finds a note to herself that says "Don't trust Ben!" 

There is a great twist in this story. I think I shouted out loud when I figured it out. It's one of those you know before the character does, but it doesn't put a damper on the story at all. The ending is also very satisfying in more ways than one.

What I know about the author: S. J. Watson attended a Writing Academy and this book was the product of it! I love that! But it also means he has no other books yet. I am eagerly awaiting what he comes up with next. Here is a link to the book website:http://www.sjwatson-books.com/beforeigotosleep/

Let me know what you think! If you've read it, no spoilers please!
