Description

ALICE FEENEYS 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?

This confusing, boring, crazy plot line and ridiculous ending should never have been published. Avoid at all cost!

Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney is a fast, twisty psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator who keeps you guessing until the end. The shifting timelines and constant doubt about what’s true make it tense and addictive. A few twists are a bit over-the-top, but overall it’s a gripping read for fans of dark, mind-bending thrillers.
Interesting plot

Plot could be hard to follow at times but I think that’s also what made it so intriguing. Good storyline that keeps you guessing, feels like there were some parts that went unanswered or didn’t necessarily make sense but overall good read.
LOVED!

3.5 stars - this was a difficult one for me to rate because genuinely I liked the concept of this book. What sets this novel apart is that you never really find out the truth and it leaves a lot of room for interpretation. However, I often found myself confused and unsure if I was following the story correctly and went down a Reddit rabbit hole just to try and find out what was going on. Turns out no one really knows. Overall, I did find the writing intriguing and did look forward to picking the book up to figure out what was going to happen next. Although sometimes it seemed a bit too overdramatic. In the end I landed in the middle. Not the best, but not the worst.
She never misses

I enjoyed this, although I’ll say I kinda liked the work storyline more than the others! Alice Feeney never misses, but I’m not surprised this was her debut. I think she’s definitely gotten better since then. I wasn’t terribly shocked by the ending, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
A little underwhelming

I didn’t find this book to be well written. Seemed like the author was trying to do too much and didn’t really sell the plot. Characters weren’t believable. I was not sold on their thoughts and dialogue. It was okay but not worth the read. I was hoping I’d like it more since it had been recommended by many. Just not my book.
slightly confused but good
