I loved the plot of this book! I hadn't read anything with a similar plot before, and thinking about living life that way made me feel sort of claustrophobic. I can't imagine losing all of my memories for a 20 year period, and having to trust everyone around me to fill me in.
For Christine, who wakes each morning having forgotten everything from the day before - and the preceding 20 years. Each morning, she wakes up in a room she doesn't recognize, next to a man she doesn't recognize. Her husband Ben explains to her each day that she has amnesia from a car accident years earlier, and her injuries erased not just her past, but the formation of any new memories. Upset with her inability to remember years of her life, Chrissy begins to keep a journal of each day's discoveries. She also has flashes of what might or might not be her memories
I loved this book – it kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it, going over everything in my mind, trying to figure the mysteries out Scary thought.
A movie adaptation of Before I Go To Sleep was released, starring Nicole Kidman. I’m interested to see how this story translates to the screen. I think it would be very hard to do.
I definitely recommend the novel.
