Book description: "Sometimes I Lie" by Alice Feeney is a psychological thriller centered on Amber Reynolds, a woman who wakes up in a hospital in a coma—unable to move, speak, or open her eyes, but able to hear everything happening around her. The narrative unfolds through three timelines: Amber’s present in the coma, the week leading up to her accident, and diary entries from her childhood twenty years earlier.
Amber can’t remember how she ended up in the coma, but she suspects her husband might be involved. As she tries to piece together the truth from fragments of memory and overheard conversations, the story asks readers to untangle a web of secrets, lies, and unreliable narration. With twists and turns throughout, the book challenges the reader to question what is true, especially as Amber states from the outset: “Sometimes I lie.” This creates a constant sense of suspense and doubt, making it a gripping, twist-filled thriller.
Alice Feeney is an author I have not experienced before. The book was recommended, and it did not disappoint.
