Publisher's summary

"As I sleep, my mind will erase everything I did today. I will wake up tomorrow as I did this morning. Thinking I'm still a child. Thinking I have a whole lifetime of choice ahead of me...."

Memories define us.

So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep?

Your name, your identity, your past, even the people you love - all forgotten overnight.

And the one person you trust may be telling you only half the story.

Welcome to Christine's life.

Incredible writing and narration

The plot is both brilliant and terrifying, written through the eyes of someone with amnesia

Very engaging, well written, great performance

This has been one of my favorite audible experiences. As the suspense intensified, I looked for any opportunity to listen, much as the main character does to write.
The performance was very good.
I had a theory about the ending, but there was certainly a twist I didn’t see coming, which I love! Definitely interesting from start to end.

Slow start, Gripping ending!

The book started off very redundant, the storyline is along the same narrative for a while. However I decided to give it a chance and really designate my attention to it and as it got further and further into the plot there definitely were some interesting twists. The ending left me wanting for more! If you can be patient, worth the listen!

Fun Read

Keeps you guessing, you know something is up but it takes a good part of the book to find out what. We enjoyed it.

Had me by the edge of my seat.

This review is true no matter what anyone else says.

This book is a bloody brilliant work of psychological horror that should be read by any student of Psychology or medicine. If this doesn't make you question the nature of our post-truth reality, I don't know what will.

I can write a Masters thesis dissecting this book and its insights on human nature.
