My friend Vivian
gave me this book when I was in Sarasota a few weeks ago. She and I typically
don’t have the same interests when it comes to fiction, but she swore I would
love it. She was right; I literally could not put this book down!
In his debut novel, S.J. Watson has created a terrifying premise. Imagine waking up each morning
and having absolutely no recollection of anything that happened the previous
day. Whose bed is this? Who is this man next to me? Who is the person looking
back at me in the mirror? For central character Christine, an accident victim
who loses all memories when she goes to sleep, this is what she experiences
every morning.
As the story
unfolds, Christine begins to chronicle her days’ events in a journal, rereading
the entries each morning to see what transpired the previous day. As you can
imagine, she has a million questions. Who is Ben, the man she calls her
husband? Can she trust the advice of her doctor? How did the accident happen? Where
are her friends and family?
This dark and gripping
novel is a page turner that will have you questioning what’s real and what isn’t
right along with Christine. If you like thrillers, this book is for you!
