Ok, so I have been book deprived because I hadn't had anything to read after I finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson....well I had a book to read but I couldn't bring myself to get beyond page four...so I basically had none to read. And then last Monday a co-worker let me borrow this months book club book, which I have to say I'm also having a hard time reading but since it is a book club book I am putting in more effort into reading it...only time will tell if I make it through.
ANYWAY, all this to say, yesterday, I read this book. I got about 50 pages in on Saturday and then spent most of my Sunday reading the rest of this book. I didn't want to put it down. It is brilliant. This is Watson's debut novel, and I will be looking forward to reading his next novel (and hoping it is soon!). I read the inside sleeve and the first two paragraph's as I was leaving our town's library and waiting to cross the street. That is all it took to make me hooked.
So it's about this woman, Christine, who is forty something and every time she goes to sleep her brain erases everything that happened that day, she cannot retain any memories, and she only remembers certain things from her past up to the time of the accident responsible for this happening. So every morning she wakes up she doesn't know who she is, where she is, or even how old she is; she thinks she is still in her twenty's, or sometimes even a child. Her husband has to explain who he is, show her pictures of them, etc...Every. Day. It looks like from the author's blog that it will eventually be a movie. I will want to watch it! So, it is very well written...and of course there is a twist! And the ending didn't piss me off! Hahaha. I recommend you read this book! Or at least check it out, here: Excerpt
