Before I Go to Sleep / S. J. Watson / 358 pages

This is a carefully plotted psychological thriller that will leave you reeling. Christine has lost her memories and awakes each day not knowing who she is, where she is, or who the man in the bed next to her is. It poses a very interesting question of what our memories mean to our lives each day and how they define who we are and who we can trust. As a reader you will feel Christine's fear, frustration, grief, joy, and confusion that overwhelm her each day as she starts her life anew. I wonder if Alzheimer's patients might feel a bit the same. Great read.
