Connie N. | 685 comments Laura wrote: Connie N, for you I choose Before I Go To Sleep. I'll be interested to hear what you think! - I found it a page-turner.

Fascinating book. I rated it 4 stars. I liked how the reader was accumulating "memories" right along with the main character. It was like the past was unfolding for us, just as it was for her. Thanks for picking it for me.


message 360: by Laura (new)

Laura | 190 comments Glad you enjoyed it, Connie! I really enjoyed it when I was reading it, though afterwards I thought some of it was a bit implausible. But it kept me hooked to the end!
