In Before I Go to Sleep, did you enjoy ...

... a story driven by an urgent quest for truth?

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

If you were hooked by Christine's relentless search to piece together her past in Before I Go to Sleep, you'll be equally gripped by Rachel's desperate pursuit of the truth in The Girl on the Train. Both novels revolve around protagonists who must unravel dangerous mysteries at the heart of their own lives, with every new clue propelling the story forward.

... a suspenseful, psychological journey with an unreliable narrator?

Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane

If you enjoyed the uncertainty and tension of never quite knowing whether Christine's memories could be trusted, you’ll love the psychological maze of Shutter Island. Teddy Daniels’ perspective keeps you guessing at every turn, blurring the lines between reality and delusion in a way that’s reminiscent of Christine’s own fractured sense of self.

... deep psychological exploration of a troubled protagonist?

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

If you were captivated by Christine’s internal struggles and the chilling exploration of memory and trauma, Sharp Objects offers another intense dive into the mind of a complex woman. Camille Preaker’s battle with her own demons and the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface make for a haunting, psychologically rich read.

... jaw-dropping twists and reversals?

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

If the shocking revelations in Before I Go to Sleep kept you turning pages late into the night, Gone Girl will deliver even more jaw-dropping twists. The narrative is packed with unexpected turns and shifting perspectives that keep you guessing until the very end.

... an intimate, first-person narrative of survival and self-discovery?

Room by Emma Donoghue

If you appreciated experiencing Christine’s story entirely through her own eyes, Room offers another powerful, first-person account. Told from the perspective of young Jack as he and his mother struggle to escape captivity, the narrative draws you deeply into the protagonist’s world and emotions.
