Sometimes I Lie

This was one incredible scattered story. It was hard to follow story lines and so many things I'm left questioning.

The interesting thing about this book was that the unreliable narrator comes right out and tells the reader that she's an unreliable narrator in the very beginning. In most unreliable narrator books, I find that the reader doesn't always know they are unreliable until a certain point in the story. But with this book, I was essentially told not to trust anyone. Even still, I found myself shocked by the twists. I can't rate it higher because the final twist was a little too hard to believe for me.

I'm not sure where to start with this review. I guess, first and foremost, I want to say this was a freaking bizarre book. VERY BIZARRE!!! I guess if I could have given it 2.5stars, I would have but I'm not feeling generous enough to round up to 3stars.

The first half of the book was actually kind of boring as "Amber" (who's in a coma) begins to tell her story. It isn't until around the 60% point, that the author begins to reveal tidbits and details of the real story and characters. It's in the last 20% that the bizarre story explodes in totally freaky fashion.

The end is a flaming hot mess and the two main characters, "Amber" and her "sister" "Claire" are both bonkers and absolute sociopathic freaks.

This was a confusing story with multiple timelines, and dream states. I didn't like the storyteller and wasn't sure if I cared if she woked up. The last third picks up the depressing tempo and you learn key things that help you figure things out.

I still think of this book 3 years later. I've raised my rating to 4 stars from 2.

not really sure what the point of this was lol. way too much going on
