I've had Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson on my bookshelf since early last year. It looked interesting, then I basically forgot about it. I only dusted it off when it became one of my group's monthly Group Read challenges. I'm so glad that it was. Such an interesting story. In some ways, it reminds me of the movie, Memento, with Christine, the main character having to start her life anew each time she wakes up.

Very interesting story. The medical condition of the main character (total memory loss from day to day where the person has to recreate his/her history each day) is fascinating but mind-boggling. It's hard to imagine living without memories, waking up anew to a totally new life every few hours. There is no basis to build a lifetime of memories because none of them ever remain for long enough to do so.

The story of a woman with amnesia who wakes up every morning with no memory of the day or years before. She begins to keep a journal to help her memory but soon learns that she cannot trust her husband. I waivered between 3 and 4 stars for this one but since I read it in about a day and a half I thought it deserved 4 stars. It was suspensful and very creepy.
