Imagine waking up every morning and not knowing where you are. Or who the person in bed next to you is. That is the case for Christine Lucas in S.J. Watson's
Before I Go to Sleep. A mysterious accident years before left Christine with few memories of her past, and no ability to form new memories. Every morning her husband must explain her life to her. Secretly, Christine has been seeing a doctor, and he too calls daily to encourage her to read a journal she has been keeping in hopes of trying to jog her memory. Through this journal, Christine discovers that her husband has been lying to her. But if she can't trust her husband, who can she trust? As Christine begins to see flashes of her past, the truth about the accident begins to emerge. But will Christine be able to regain her memories before it is too late? A suspenseful novel from beginning to end.
C.J. Watson has created a brilliant debut novel. We readers like Christine don’t know who trust, but we know something isn’t quite right. We are afraid for Christine. We want her to be alright. We wish she can get her memory and her life back and live again.
