Review: Stay Awake - Megan Goldin
Review: Stay Awake - Megan Goldin - August 2022
This is one author I first
discovered a couple of years ago when she released her book The Night Swim. I enjoyed
it, so I decided to go back and read her backlist which at the time and I loved
all her books. So I decided to add this author to my auto-read list and when I
saw she had published Stay Awake that went onto my library hold list. The book
starts with Liv - our main female character waking up in the back of a cab with
no recollection of her night. She arrives at her apartment only to discover
it's not and there is no sign of her roommate Amy. Liv also has lots of pen
marks and notes written on her skin including the words - Stay Awake and Don't
Fall Asleep. We then learn that every time Liv falls asleep, she forgets the
past two years and is right back to just before the fateful night she witnessed
her best friend's and boyfriend's murder and was left for dead. When a
guy from Liv's past turns up dead with the message "Stay Awake"
written in blood - Liv finds herself the prime suspect in his murder but how
can she be sure she did it if she keeps forgetting everything about the past
two years every time she falls asleep? What's worse is it looks like the killer
of her past is after her but with Liv's amnesia, how can she keep herself safe
if she can't remember and stay awake and turns into a crazy hot mess? What do
you do if you can't sleep but need to sleep at the same time? Find out in this
twisted thriller that I have to admit, I did not see the killer coming when
revealed at the end and by the end of the book, I felt sadness for Liv and
wanted to wrap her in cotton wool and keep her safe as she felt like a lost
puppy. I am now looking forward to reading her next upcoming book "Dark
Corners".
