Sometimes I Lie: A Novel
ALICE FEENEY'S NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Boldly plotted, tightly knotted--a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous." --AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me:1. I'm in a coma.
2. My husband doesn't love me anymore.
3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can't move. She can't speak. She can't open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn't remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

It was a good read. A bit confusing. And if she told her to start the fire why did she go back to bed rather than leave the house. Did she want to die?
I will forever and always read anything and everything by Alice Feeney. She is a master of her craft!
After reading Alice Feeney’s book Rock, Paper, Scissors I had to try this. The writing style is clearly similar with lots of unexpected twists and turns. I couldn’t put the book down however the ending left a couple of questions which means this one gets a 9/10 rather than a 10/10 for rock, paper, scissors. Would recommend for those who like dark twists. This one came a bit earlier than the book I’ve already mentioned.
I typically donât care for books with unreliable narrators. I actually enjoyed this read more than I expected. It was a quick and entertaining read. Why the 2 stars? 1. The diary enteries were interesting but as a social worker I thought they needed more psychological development. For instance she hates her mother for no particular reason. 2. The ending had so many plot twists that it became unbelievable.
