Liv Reese wakes up in a New York City cab and nothing is like she remembers. Strangers are living in her brownstone, her phone is missing, and her hands are covered in blood with the message "Stay Awake" penned all over them. Two years ago, she was a successful writer in a new relationship. With the news talking about a crime scene with "Stay Awake" scrawled in blood, Liv must run from a crime she doesn't remember.

The publisher's description is toting Stay Awake as a complex thriller, and I have to say I think it was a bit too convoluted for my taste. Liv is suffering from a condition that makes her memory reset every time she falls asleep which at times made for a great unreliable narrator but at other times just felt too unbelievable. I honestly suggest skipping this summer thriller.
