Sometimes I Lie certainly took me on a suspenseful journey with Alice Feeney’s signature style of unreliable narrators and more twists than you can predict. This is the second Feeney novel our book club has tackled, following Rock Paper Scissors, which we absolutely loved. While Sometimes I Lie kept me guessing, I felt it didn’t quite hit the mark in the same way. 
 
The twists in this story felt a bit excessive this time around, leaving me more disoriented than delighted. 
 
I still look forward to more of her work, but this one wasn’t quite for me. Also — I should have read the content warnings, but that’s on me.

Some people appear happy on the outside and you only know they're broken inside if you listen as well as look

Well, I don't know how to feel about this book. I really don't know, and I don't know if I'll ever know, to be honest. 

It was really full of twists, brutal parts, etc., but for me something was missing. However, I liked that past, present and future met at the same time.

The plot was quite enjoyable, I won't say it dragged me along all the way, but it kept my attention for a while, although the beginning was difficult to get going. The wording wasn't bad, it could have been better, but that's it. But what I absolutely liked was the real rawness, it was lifelike and extremely realistic. The ending felt a bit unfinished and too fast, but not everything could be perfect. For a read, it was good.

Starts sort of slow. Twists are twisty at the very end which pushed me to finish.
