Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
3.0

I really enjoyed this book, which surprised me because books centered around amnesia are usually difficult for me. I loved the writing and character development. It immediately sucked me into the book and I read the first 50 pages without stopping once. I couldn't wait to get to the end. The reason I only gave it three stars is because of the amnesia. I really don't like it being a focus because it always winds up making the books feel repetitive and drag on a bit, just by nature of it being amnesia. The first and final acts were my favorite, with the bits in the middle being interesting, but I did feel that I struggled a bit more with them.

Overall, this left me really excited to read SJ Watson's next book.
