Only the other day, I was complaining how predictable thrillers have become. But this one filled me with hope that there are still thrillers that need not revolve around a murder.

Before I go to Sleep is the story of a woman, with a condition. Her memory resets every time she sleeps, due to which she does not remember the last 20 years. She lives with her husband, Ben and every morning she wakes up, she is frantic that she is with a stranger but Ben has to explain her every single morning that he is her husband and this is his home. To know why Christine ended up this way, you should read the book and find out.

Ah well. I have had some great time reading it. I read AGGGTM the other day and was complaining that thrillers nowadays seem to always solve a murder. This one was a good change of breeze in thrillers genre for me. This book made me realize that I am specifically interested in Psychological Thrillers.

The only reason why I gave this book a 4 stars is for the first 50% of the book, I felt the book was unnecessarily long and dragging. That is the only complaint. I skipped paragraphs over, paragraphs and not miss any information; that's how much lagging you just might find this book to be.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Gone Girl.
