Stay Awake by Megan Goldin

 This was one of my best rated books, 5 out of 5 stars!  

In this thriller, Goldin touches on themes of amnesia and interplays the manipulation of a murderer!

Liv Reese suffers from a strange case of amnesia (very reminiscent of a movie I really liked named Memento).  Every time she goes to sleep, she forgets everything that happened since the morning of her friend's murder!  She doesn't even remember that her friend (and her boyfriend) is dead!  What's more, she was blamed (and framed) for the murders and it remains unsolved.  That means, if she truly isn't the killer, then that person is out there, and could be after her, too.

There were twists and turns involved in this murder mystery.  Liv had some people rooting for her, but they ended up hurt (or killed), too.  It was getting pretty scary for her until she figured it out!  The question was, could she stay awake long enough to prove it?

Definitely would recommend!
