As the author of the The Whispers of The Sprite (YA Paranormal Romance) (The Whispers Series)I loved Before I go to sleep'
Every page turned was a relief! a relief as in the next was as meticulous in painting vivid details of the accounts that unfold with every page bringing you closer to the source and the intentions of the writer.
`Before I go to sleep' is a story about a woman in her mid-forties. every waking day is spent recollecting thoughts that never seem to add up to that which are to most in a chronological order to most (start middle and obviously end). Some days the memories coming from her childhood but other days she wakes ups not knowing anything at all only having random flash backs of her past. Christine is asked by Doctor Nash to keep a journal and write down everything that she has done, a day to day account of her lucid memories.
She writes of her husband Ben, a doctor that helps her remember also friends from college. The plot thickens as you drown into Christine's daily diary entries where she slowly discovers that her whole life isn't what it seems to be. Every day Christine has to face the challenge of reconstructing her past with present, inquiring about what caused her memory loss. She has to deal with a growing number of daunting questions. Even though she doesn't remember, her diary helps her to undergo like a microscope a small investigation about her real life and her husband who attempts to cover all the unbearable memories from Christine's past.
I must admit the novel is a real page turner and not being able to put it down until the last page was relieved of its duty. The author, a qualified doctor who specialized in the analysis and treatment of hearing-impaired children, S J Watson was inspired to write the novel by Henry Gustav Molaison who after surgery was unable to form new memories.
My initial reaction that it would be a light read love story, on the contrary! instead it turned out to be an engaging psychological thriller. I was holding my breath almost to the end when Christine found out the truth about herself and people around her. S J Watson gave us a beautifully written piece with exceptional settings and a simple idea which is transformed into a heart hammering thriller.
I can highly recommend this book, the plot line is fast but engaging and I can assure you that after finishing this book the story will remain in your memories forever
