Fantastisc thriller book. I kinda guessed the ending but it was still a surprising and tense ending. Loved it. I couldn’t stop reading. The last 100 pages just threw by. 5/5⭐️

Viața lui Christine este acum un puzzle, iar piesele reprezintă propriile amintiri. Acestea sunt împrăștiate pe parcursul a zeci de ani. Pentru a reface povestea vieții ei, eroina romanului trece prin sentimente puternice, de la dezamagire, furie, dezorientare până la speranța unei vieți regăsite.

I enjoyed the mystery but thought this book was a bit longer than it needed to be. The story is good, I had no trouble finishing it. I enjoyed it, but if it had been cut by 1/3 I might have enjoyed it even more.

This book took me by surprise a bit.

I was interested in the subject matter because it reminded me of one of my favourite love stories.

Before I go to sleep turned out vastly different than I anticipated.

Spoiler

I began to be suspicious of Ben not too long into the book, but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I tried to piece together what had really happened but was shocked at the reveal. Despite what Christine believed, I truly wish that her story has a happy ending and she can live the remainder of her life with real!Ben and her son, with or without her memory bank.
