Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson

Christine Lucas wakes up every morning with no memory of her previous day and more troubling for the past 20 years.  She has had a mysterious accident leaving her with amnesia and robbing her of the majority of her life.  After meeting her husband, Ben, for what she believes is the first time, he gives her a quick introduction to her life as it is now. Dr. Nash has secretly advised Christine to keep a journal in order for her to help herself with past memories rather than hearing them from others.  Reading her own words every day helps her start over faster.  However, journaling before the end of the day becomes difficult without her husband getting suspicious.  Some of the memories she reads each day are confusing when she starts realizing her husband does not tell her these things each morning.  Especially when, one morning, Christine finds she has written the words "Don't trust Ben" at the beginning of her journal.  Unsure of who to trust Christine attempts to unravel the secrets Ben is keeping from her before she goes to sleep each night.  This fast-paced thriller will have readers jumping to the beginning to start all over again.
