Wow, what a book! This was a new concept for me, a woman who only had the capacity to retain memories until she went to sleep for the night, starting new the next day. I will say that, to me, the ending and revelations were fairly predictable, but the story was still great to listen to and follow along. I enjoyed the ride and would have given it more stars had it been more original! 
The main character was immediately likable and it was easy to sympathize with her and want her to come out the winner in this -
which is perhaps why I don't mind that the ending was, although left on a cliffhanger, trending towards a happy one
. I would actually be interested in seeing how the story of Christine unfolds after this book ends! I must admit I have not checked to see if there is a sequel before writing this, though I feel that the ending hints that this is not a series. If I am wrong though, I will seek out the second book! 
I enjoyed the hints placed around the book as to who did what and who was for or against Christine. All in all, a very enjoyable read and one I would recommend!
