I read this book in about 2-3 days so that in itself should be a good indication of my rating. There were several things I really enjoyed about this book. For starters, I liked the physical copy I had (it was aesthetically pleasing as it…

I honestly really enjoyed this book. It kept me interested throughout and I was never sure what would happen next. The ending was a surprise. Quick and easy read. I'd recommend it.

Decent read. Not as big a fan of this one as all the reviews. I found it a bit repetitive and seemed to drag. And I had the big reveal figured out toward the end so didn’t find the ending all that suspenseful.

I absolutely loved this book! The perfect psychological thriller and written so neatly without any lulls or dragging along in the story. There were just the right amount of twists and turns without anything being too convenient or…

The story is unlike anything else I have ever read. It is one long roller coaster ride of nail-biting, page-turning, can't-put-it-down suspense, from the first sentence to the very last word.

I always enjoy reading psychologic thrillers! The author did a great job of keeping me guessing the entire book. I was never sure who I could trust, including the narrator of the book. There were lots of surprises and clues throughout the…

Don't usually like thrillers/suspense, but for some reason I'm drawn to stories about memory. Very captivating. You may also like What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty or Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante.

A well-written thriller that kept me guessing until almost the very end. Maybe not as shocking as some of the other thrillers are these days, but still very good.

Finished this in about a day. It's a good book. I was hoping for more of a twist at the end but then again, I could just have very high expectations because of other thrillers I've read in the past. Anyways, this is definitely worth a read.

Very good debut novel; it will remind readers of other books they have read, but still, a good first book. If you liked "Fifty First Dates" "The Silent Patient" and "Sometimes I Lie", this book will entertain you.

Just the right level of nerve wracking tension, with a quick pace and enough twists for you to stay glued to the page!

More ridiculous coincidences and plot holes than the average "Die Hard" movie - without the over-the-top fun. I knew the "surprising" ending a quarter of the way through the book. The best I can say is that it was readable enough for me to…

I read this book based on a recommendation from one of the library staff. It was exactly what I was looking for. If you like books similar to those written by Gillian Flynn or Liane Moriarty, give this one a try. If you've never read…

I'm not an aficionado of "amnesia" thrillers but I was intrigued by the idea of someone waking up every morning with her memory erased, and imagining how she would cope with that. I enjoyed the story and the writing style. I felt like I…

Read this book off the library recommendations list. Very pleased with the plot premise (though repetitive at times). Have recommended to a friend who is a mystery buff. I loved the ending. Left the reader to decide if they wanted a…

The premise of this book sounded interesting and it was. As we start going further and further along during the week and Christine slowly pieces together what happened the night that lead to her amnesia. Every day she wakes up with no…

The idea is really interesting and I wanted to like it more, but it became so repetitive (understandably given the premise, but it's not much fun to read the same thing over and over), that by the end of the book when the writing seemed to…

Such an unusual concept. the first chapter is captivating as it reveals the premise

Holy Helen. Reading that twice should be an official form of punishment around the world. SUB-ZERO stars. Is S.J. Watson still "writing"? Because he or she should stop. Stop and take up knitting.

Very well written psychological thriller. It keeps you reading and guessing. The simplified end feels unrealistic and melodramatic.

I finished this book like 5 minutes ago, I loved it. I couldn't put it down, written very well, keeps you super hooked, and I hadn't guessed what would happen at the end until it was happening! There are moments where I could see plot…

I sped through this psychological thriller and really enjoyed it. It absolutely kept me guessing the entire time and I didn't get tired of being in only Christine's head (who can't remember the previous day) at all. Using severe amnesia as…
