Before I Go To Sleep

The story captured my interest immediately, and made me want to keep reading. It drew me in, and for once I was not able to guess the ending before it happened. Basically, a woman with amnesia, who forgets everything during the night while she sleeps, begins to keep a journal in order to piece together her life and memories without starting over every day, and the story reveals itself through these journal entries. It is a clever storytelling mechanism, and is used to great effect. There were a few parts that came across as a bit off or flat to me, but overall it was a great book.
