Insomnia

In this twisty, mind-bending thriller from the bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes, Emma Averell worries that her crippling insomnia is a sign that she's slowly going insane--like the mother she's worked so hard to leave in her past. Emma Averell loves her life--her high-powered legal career, her two beautiful children, and her wonderful stay-at-home husband--but it wasn't always so perfect. When she was just five years old, Emma and her older sister went into foster care because of a horrific incident with their mother. Her sister can remember a time when their mother was loving and "normal," but Emma can only remember her as one thing--a monster. And that monster emerged right around their mother's fortieth birthday, the same age Emma is approaching now. Emma desperately wants to keep her successful life separate from her past, so she has always hidden her childhood trauma. But then she's unable to sleep, and now losing time during the day, also one of the first symptoms her mother showed. Is the madness in her blood, just as her mother predicted? Could she end up hurting her family in her foggy, frenetic state? Or is she truly beginning to lose her mind?

3.5 stars, was probably better to listen to it as an audiobook than a physical copy

wow!! this book was a ride. i read it in 3 days, i couldn’t put it down i was so drawn in. from the very beginning i was hooked and wanted to know what happened. every guess i took ended up wrong and had my jaw dropped at the twist. Insomnia takes you on a thrilling ride about Emma just weeks before her 40th birthday. she’s unable to sleep and feels as though she’s gone crazy with remembering her traumatic past that involved her mom and sister. the closer it gets to her birthday, the worse things get. 5/5 stars, would highly recommend!

The ending of Insomnia was so unique and interesting, I loved it!

I found the beginning a little slow but it was still worth the read, every time I thought I had it figured out I was wrong. Overall a really good read.
