Before I Go to Sleep

Every morning that Christine Lucas wakes is a new day. The problem is she can't remember the day before or the last twenty years.  She thinks she is still in her twenties until she looks in the mirror. The stranger in the bed next to her says he is her husband, Ben, and that an accident causes her to not be able to remember. He loves her and takes care of her and everyday he tells her of her past and patiently answers her endless questions. She relies on him. Until a phone call from a doctor she has secretly been seeing tells her to look in her closet for her journal. The first words she sees are "Don't trust Ben".

"Before I go to Sleep", by S.J. Watson, is a thrill ride filled with twist and turns. Christine does not know what is real and who she can trust. Is her husband telling her the truth? If he is, why does her journal tell another story? And just when the reader thinks they have it all figured out, the book reminds us that nothing is ever as it seems.
