Finished: Before I Go To Sleep (Watson) OMG, a true page turner about a woman with amnesia who wakes up each morning having forgotten her life from the day before! What's more, Christine has forgotten her entire life, yet she has a journal her doctor, Dr. Nash, has encouraged her to write in and the first words she reads are DON'T TRUST BEN! Ben is her husband who she wakes up to every morning who patiently tells her that they're married, and about their lives together. Sadly, she doesn't remember him, and he goes through the pain of telling her every day about their love, that she doesn't know if she can reciprocate, and of the son they shared that he says died in Afghanistan. When she wakes each morning, she usually feels like she's still in her early 20's, when in reality, it's been over 20 years since her "accident" and she's 47. Of course, she gets the tiniest flashes of memories and she knows that something is not right. Things snowball from there to a scary thriller that I couldn't put down! In the end, the truth comes out, and it's not at all what the author has been leading you to think. Though, I must say that I guessed pretty close to the truth. Thank goodness for Dr. Nash, the college best friend, Claire, and Christine's own fortitude!
