S.J Watson's debut novel, Before I Go to Sleep, doesn't come out until June, but is already making waves in Library Land. We have heard great feedback from several librarians who couldn't put the book down…
" Watson's debut is tense from the get-go; a page turner that had me on the edge of my seat. I'd recommend it to those who like a good psychological thriller or those interested in disturbances of memory." - Carol A. Kubala, Saxton B. Little Free Library
"…was terrific! Before I did anything yesterday morning I had to finish it and no matter how hard I tried to figure out what was going on, the ending was totally unexpected." – Robin Beerbower, Salem Public Library
"This book takes the psychological thriller to a whole new level. It is fast-paced, believable and has an element of “what if something like this every happened to me?” Readers will unravel Christine’s life with her and will be as surprised as Christine when the final page is turned." - Jennifer Monahan Winberry, Hunterdon County Library
"Wow! What a great book. Talk about a page turner! Every page had me guessing about what was happening, what did happen, and what would happen next…I love the relationship that the reader develops with Christine, and how well drawn she is as a character." - S. Rebecca Lubin, Delaware Branch – Albany Public Library
…And if that wasn't enough, Jackie Blem a bookseller at The Tattered Cover in Denver has this to say:
“OMG…this book is gonna be HUGE!!!!!! I didn't do any author research until after I read the book, so I was very surprised to found out he's a guy. He wrote the voice of Christine very, very, very well. Huge, huge, huge!!!”
Jackie will be posting a full review to her blog on May 2nd (spoiler alert: it might be favorable) which you will be able to link to here, so be sure to check back.
Finally, because I'm pumped about this book and want to pass it on, the first 10 people to comment and recommend their fave psychological thriller win a copy!
