Sometimes I Lie A Novel Alice Feeney 9781250144843 Books

Spoiler:

Amber is not in a coma and any hospital would know that because she would be hooked up to an EEG machine. She is in a medically-induced paralytic state. So that's a lie.

Her husband is not lying to her and he does love her. So that's a lie.

She does lie, and that's the cheapest trick (next to using sudden magic) a writer can use.

I read this all the way through in one sitting just because the book was so expensive I was determined to be able to review it knowing all there is to know about it. None of the characters are interesting; you just don't care what happens to them (if they're who the author says they are and if they're real characters in the first place). Once you realize Amber is paralytic and that she has a pushy medically-trained ex-boyfriend, you know who who put her into that state. And as soon as you hear she has cognitive problems, you know the rest of the story is up for grabs -- the author couldn't be bothered to write a tightly-woven plot so she just leaves it up to you to decide what's real.

I taught line-of-action writing for twenty years, and if a student had brought this abomination to me, I would have told him/her to start over. This is just so bad I don't understand why anyone but a fellow ex-comp teacher would bother to read it.

Save your money! If you want to read an emotionally-charged psychodrama with a cognitively-challenged female protagonist, read The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena. At least it's entertaining.

Sometimes I Lie A Novel Alice Feeney 9781250144843 Books Reviews

Fantastic book, a psychological thriller that grabs you. You need your wits about you reading this with many twists and turns.
I liked this book a lot until I was almost finished with it. Then it got so confusing I couldn't follow it. The first half was gripping and interesting but the last half was just too hard to follow. I didn't even finish it.
Like all the recent psychological thrillers, I was mesmerized initially. I thought that at last I'd found a good book. NOT. Like the rest, it became so preposterous and bizarre that I don't even care how it ends. Skip this entirely unless you don't mind a totally outrageous and ridiculous plot.
This book was great. Cannot really say too much because that would spoil it. But will say, I did not see the twist that was revealed about 70% through.

This from the Synopsis is what drew me to this book.
My Name is Amber Reynolds. There are 3 things you should know about me
1. I'm in a coma
2. My husband doesn't love me
3. Sometimes I lie

This is told through 3 different times lines. Now - When Amber “wakes” up in the hospital in a coma (with no memory of what happened) Then - The week leading up to when Amber “wakes” up in a coma. And then through diary entries from about 25 years ago.

Now when I say Amber “wakes” up in a coma, I mean she can hear what people are saying but she cannot talk, move or open her eyes. I really liked this POV. Was kind of freaky as I was reading and just imagining how that would be, being able to hear but not tell anyone. She would be screaming answers but only in her head. And then she would slip back into the darkness and have memories. But are they real or imaginations? I think the author did great job with this part of the book. The writing and descriptions was so good , that you can just imaging what Amber is feeling.

I really liked all the characters. They were all well developed. You don't know who to trust and what to believe. Great pacing and as it got father along it the book the suspense picks up, that I wanted to read faster. But I had to slow myself down to absorb what I was reading because I was getting confused LOL Still a couple things that have me a little confused (may go back and skim the book again) But I still enjoyed it very much.
I probably should not comment on this book, because I am totally confused by the end of the story. It does keep you reading, but it is also confusing, and at the end, you are left more confused than ever. None of the characters are likeable, but I suppose the author did a good job in developing them to BE unlikeable.
I thought there were only two sides. Good and evil. After reading Alice Feeney’s psychological thriller SOMETIMES I LIE, I am now convinced there is another super sinister side somewhere at the edge of evil. Man, oh, man. This book will not let you down, thriller lovers. You will be on the edge of whatever perch you read.

The narrator is in a coma, but she can hear what is happening and what is going on is nothing short of terrifying. She is not sure what her responsibility is in how she got to the hospital and what harm she might have caused.

Set aside some serious time to read because once you start this, I promise you will not be able to put this book down. For sure you will be creeped out, but that creep factor is what will keep you wanting for more.

Feeney’s debut work is surely just the beginning of many more wicked tales to come.
A main character who is in a coma and sometimes lies. I'm all in!

Quite a spellbinding read from start to finish! We are not sure how Amber ended up in the hospital in this coma , but she does admit that sometimes she lies. This was like a puzzle and I was trying to put the pieces together, but couldn't entirely trust all the pieces. Very cleverly written and I loved hearing what Amber was thinking while in this coma sizing up everyone in the room and giving us her insight. Four stars because I felt there was almost too much going on. I'm not sure how to explain it, but with all the lies I think I wanted a more defined plot line.

The narrative switches from Now (in coma) to Then (before the coma). I loved trying to figure out what the lies were and who to trust. It is super twisty and just when you think you have it figured out another twist flies your way! A fast read for me because I needed to find out what was going on.
The ending was my favorite part because it leaves you questioning yourself and if you perhaps missed anything. I have a theory, but I guess I'll have to wait until the next book!
