 Pleasantly surprised by Stay Awake. needed a quick change up read and figured what better than a thriller. I am normally not the biggest fan of thrillers due to fatigue from the same gotcha elements and name changes and too quick wrap ups in the last 10 pages of a book. While Stay Awake doesn't break the mold, it keeps tension going throughout the entirety of the book and has a well paced unraveling of the past with the present. yes, there are some hokey medical things but it didn't detract from my reading experience given I expect some of that with this genre in general. I do expect most thriller fans to enjoy this and will be recommending to many of my friends.
