This one was a wild ride! Usually when I read thrillers they all kind of have the same journey. Stay Awake was different. I had entirely no idea “whodunit” or where the book was headed next. It definitely kept me turning page after page to find out.
The premise is very Memento-like circa 2000. Every time the main character falls asleep, she loses her memory of the last 2 years and has to start from scratch to figure out what’s going on in her life.
The book was a 5 star read for me until the ending. I think I was a tad underwhelmed with the villain and the way the story concluded after all the time that was invested to get there. But overall, it will still a worthwhile read.
-I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, Megan Goldin, and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to review.-
About me? Who am I? I'm Ashley Houser, formerly Tocco (Toe-ko, not Taco). I live in Nashville, Tennessee and work as a pharmacy manager for Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. I married the love of my life in August 2017 and have been enjoying the ride ever since. But, let's get down to why I'm here. I'm a reader. I enjoy all things psychological, thriller, mystery, and everything in between. On occasion I find myself engrossed in a good dystopian novel as well. I started this blog as a place to share my thoughts on books I've ready in the mystery/thriller genre. And while that's still the case, it has now evolved to "all the books." Mystery, thriller, science fiction, southern fiction, young adult, you name it.
There is a little something for everybody. I hope this is a place where people feel inspired to pick up a book and jump into their next literary adventure. Happy reading!
