Sometimes I Lie
by Feeney, Alice
Amber Reynolds is trapped in her own body, lying in a hospital bed in a coma. She can hear everything around her, but she cannot open her eyes or speak. As she struggles to piece together the events that led to her current state, the narrative jumps between her current paralysis, the week leading up to her accident, and childhood diaries from twenty years ago. The result is a disorienting, claustrophobic puzzle where the truth is constantly shifting. You never know who to trust, least of all the narrator herself. If you enjoy thrillers that demand your full attention and love feeling like you are being played by the author, this book is for you. It is dark, twisty, and designed to make you question your own memory of what you just read.
