Are You Awake?

Product Information

Understandably she is very tired with two small children but I felt she should have been portrayed as much smarter than this book gave her credit for. When they see news reports of a missing woman, who was last seen walking alone not far from them, the pair are convinced it’s her they saw being attacked.

Meanwhile hubby Jack snores his way through slumber and oblivion as his exhausted wife sees to the children without an ounce of sleep. By her own account, she hasn’t really slept for two years, and she thinks of her husband, Jack, as little more than deadweight at the moment. After all, you've not slept - really slept - for two years so your mind could be playing tricks on you.She ran the UK’s first MA in crime writing for five years, and regularly teaches and talks about writing. I had a hard time putting it down (until the end, when I was ready for it to wrap up), and wanted to know how it ended.

despite Audrey's constant rants, and she thankfully blended into the background and became more of hubby's problem to deal with once he decided to be a parent instead of sleeping in when Mary more than deserved one.I have heard great things about this author’s work, so I will have to give her another try-but this one unfortunately, was a MISS for me. The characters weren't interesting, and I felt there was something lacking that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Ok so this could've been a guilty pleasure read but McGowan punched above the belt by making Mary a lawyer who didn't know the law from her left foot.

As someone who's struggled with sleep, I felt the first few chapters of this book did a great job of summing up how it sometimes feels. Mary is a mum of two young children who is totally exhausted with this role but unable to sleep so she escapes to the park.Despite their unending tiredness, these neighbors both end up in a park near their homes at 4 AM peering up at a lit window of a home where they both believe they’ve seen a young woman, Samantha Ellis, recently reported missing in the news. They see news reports of a missing woman who was last seen in this area and become convinced m the woman hey saw is her.
