I see a lot of mixed reviews on this one but I liked it. Haven‘t read a book by Jewell I haven‘t liked. This one has a bit going on and I don‘t feel like all the characters stories were fleshed out but still an enjoyable thriller with an ending I didn‘t see coming.
“thing about grief is that, when it happens to you, you go through the looking glass. Suddenly, everyone else lives one kind of life, with one set of problems, and you another. You‘re in a different world now, one you can never return from. And you only realize too late how good the first world was.”
I thought it was great. Compared to the movie, it goes into way more detail about the events and even gives you more clues than what was shown in the movie. I‘d recommend reading it before watching the movie if you haven‘t already
This book should be read in a club chair while drinking a Manhattan.
This is my 3rd Highsmith. I can see why people do not like this as much as Ripley, it involves more than one toxic person and leaves you wondering who to root for. I think it is very well crafted, a train wreck that is hard to look away from. PH is one of the best at characters that are spiraling, and this is eerily plausible.
⭐3.75/5
Annie's life was ordinary—she worked as a real estate agent, had a loving boyfriend, and a tense relationship with her mother. But everything shifted when she was kidnapped by a psychopath. Though she managed to escape, her mind remains haunted by the cabin, a place more suffocating than a prison. The story is told in second-person perspective, with each chapter unfolding as her therapy sessions,where you, the reader, become her psychiatrist.

Before I Go To Sleep is a well-executed version of what could have been a schlocky psychological thriller, with unexpected depths and surprisingly few foibles. Nuts to everyone who tried to steer me away from it; I thought it was (mostly) great! Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/before-i-go-to-sleep-s-j-watson/
This was a really good book with lots of tension, but it‘s also pretty dark. Tons of trigger warnings! And there were some really good twists towards the end.
