This book is certainly unlike anything I have read before. Dreams have always been something that fascinate me, and I loved some of the ideas that Louise Mumford came up with in this area.

Sleepless follows Thea, who has really severe insomnia. It is impacting her life to a great extent. At her wits end, with no where else to turn, she signs up for a trial. The trial claims to be able to fix your sleep with its technology, and to be able to make you a better human being. But everything is not as it seems.

I was so drawn to the premise of this book. As an insomniac and avid thriller fan it seemed to fit perfectly. I initially really enjoyed the book, I was struggling to put it down and was thinking about it when I wasn't reading it. Unfortunately for me, the latter part of the book just wasn't quite as engaging, it felt a little lacking.

That being said, this book was fast paced and an enjoyable read. It is such a unique perspective, and certainly made me wonder what technology may do for us in the future (for better and worse). But I wouldn't make the mistake I did and read it before bed- it often left me nervous to close my eyes! All in all, I think this was a good debut novel and I will definitely keep my eye out for more from this author.

I want to say a big thank you to Netgalley, the publishers (HQ) and Louise Mumford for giving me the chance to read this book and give my personal opinion. I would recommend this book to people who like a more futuristic/dystopian type thriller.
