Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson

[Angie]

We are *tentatively* planning to be back in person by June! In the meantime, there will still be books posted here for discussion and a virtual live chat at the end of the month.

This thriller is available in print and as an e-book or audiobook on the Hoopla app. If you enjoy the book, there is also a movie (starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth) available for checkout in the library!

Feel free to share your comments/thoughts/critiques on this book below. Happy reading!

I really enjoyed this book! From the beginning, I didn’t trust Ben. But as I read my feelings wavered and I didn’t know if he was sincere or not. I appreciated the fact that it kept me guessing, wondering, and doubting throughout the story. And it didn’t end exactly as I thought it would. There was a twist at the end I wasn’t expecting, but was pleasantly surprised. I thought this was a good read overall!!

Excellent who dunit! Kept me guessing all the way. Good psychological thriller

This was one that kept me guessing... Between doubting the husband, the doctor, and her own written experiences - it was a fun read (but I'm a sucker for anything that falls near the psychological thriller genre).

I found Christine likeable, and found myself wondering what that experience must be like. I can't imagine how terrible it would be to not only suffer from severe amnesia, but also to not be able to trust the people you knew you were supposed to trust. Interesting to think about.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or requests for next month! Hopefully that'll be the final virtual-only book club and we'll be back in person for June! :)
