David wakes at 4:55 every morning.

Same alarm. Same run. Same quiet office. Same long, straight road of a life — a life so perfectly ordered that he has stopped asking whether he is actually moving at all.
Then one morning, the ribbon breaks.

He wakes up not in his small apartment, but in a palace. In a bed he has never owned. In clothes tailored to his body. A woman he has never met calls him darling — as if she has loved him for years. A guard runs beside him as if his life matters. And somewhere between yesterday and today, David has become someone else entirely.
Is it a dream? A mistake? A second life? Or is it the life he was always meant to wake up to?
Wake Up, David is a tender, haunting and deeply human novel about routine and awakening, loneliness and love, memory and identity — and about the quiet moment when an ordinary man finally dares to ask: What if my real life hasn’t
started yet?

A story for everyone who has ever felt awake, yet somehow still asleep.
