Before I Go to Sleep

Slow to start but very drama filled towards the end

3.5 stars for giving me a sleepless night and tons of anxiety. If it weren't for so many loopholes it could've been a five star book. ...more

Before I go to sleep

Well, that was a roller coaster of emotions. Initially, I found myself frustrated with the main character but eventually started filling in the gaps in her memory and the twists this story takes....its well worth the time.

i LOVE thrillers like this omg. i was nonstop telling my lovely situationship about it as i was reading, ofc not the ending tho.

The author did a great job developing the characters and keeping me reading. The ending was a bit fantastic but overall it was a great book. Nice little bit of mystery with a good discussion of our own identity.

Eh. The buildup was slow/nonexistent and I couldn’t find myself ever wanting to read 20 pages at a time. Then ended abruptly although I didn’t exactly see it coming so touché. Agree with someone else’s review, it’d be better as a movie
