Sometimes I Lie
Ratings98
Average rating3.6
Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can't move. She can't speak. She can't open her eyes. Though she can hear everyone around her, no one knows because she's in a coma. But she doesn't remember what happened. And she has a sneaking 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, the narratives build and collide for an ending that leaves readers speechless. This novel delves into the blurred gap between who we are and who we'd like to be.

Ooooh, this one was rather riveting.
I had to keep turning pages to discover how it would all end.
Trust me, you won't see it coming!
3.75“Some people appear happy on the outside and you only know they're broken inside if you listen as well as look.”You can never go wrong with [a:Alice Feeney 15904689 Alice Feeney https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1484753445p2/15904689.jpg]. This is my 3rd book by her and I have one more ([b:I Know Who You Are 45419076 I Know Who You Are Alice Feeney https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png 56880666]) to finish and then I will be done with her backlist! I LOVE her writing style its so fast paced and very easy to get through. Also in her books, chapters are very short so that's another bonus point! For a debut this was pretty good, but the ending might seem a bit too far fetched for some coz in classic [a:Alice Feeney 15904689 Alice Feeney https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1484753445p2/15904689.jpg] style she threw all the twists one after the other in the end but I enjoyed it! What I didn't enjoy was the open ending, in thrillers I love when everything is tied up with a neat bow but in this we had to keep on guessing the ending and unfortunately I don't like that.“Sometimes I think it's best to say nothing at all, silence cannot be misquoted.”Also if you want to predict the twist you NEED to pay CLOSE attention to all the clues she leaves throughout the book and I mean CLOSEE attention, coz I got abt 3/4 clues perfectly and I was kinda mad that I missed the other clues. So to get/predict the full twist/ending perfectly PAY CLOSE ATTENTION;)“I've hidden memories in boxes inside my head before. Sometimes it's the only way to deal with things.”So yeah..do I recommend this? DUH!! Read it!!! “It can be dangerous to ask a question when you already know the answer.”Also I have a question how did she get the pov of a person in a coma? did she guess it or get it from a person who has actually been in a coma? Coz I feel like it was done well:) (how ironic is that quote right above this
We picked this book for book club and WOW is there a lot to talk about! Now that I've finished it, I need to re-read it knowing what I know now. If you are someone who likes plot twists you didn't see coming, this is for you! If you like twisty mysteries where you can't trust what you assume, this is for you!
