Stay Awake by Megan Goldin
3.0

I really liked the concept, and the mystery was exciting and everything, but man I could NOT get past the insufferable protagonist. You'd think that, after learning she can't remember anything after falling asleep, she would write down more helpful things on her arms that just 'stay awake' or 'don't fall asleep'. What exactly was her end game here if she knows she can't remember things, but never takes steps to make anything easier on herself, and literally cannot stay awake forever. Anytime she was close to getting help or an explanation, she ran away, fell asleep, and the whole stupid thing started over again. Take out her parts and have just the detectives and that should be the book.
