i was not expecting the twists in this and i think the author did a great job of setting everything up. i enjoyed it a lot, just took me a little while to get super into it.

Sometimes I Lie is full of twists and the reveals in the story are revealed in a very unique and interesting way. However, the story had a couple of twists and turns that were confusing, and did not always paint a clear picture. The ending is the most confusing part of the overall story, so it left me slightly underwhelmed. I think this would have been a 5 star book if the ending had a clear and concise twist.

First time in a while I've not anticipated the twists in a thriller. I was very happy when the initial tropes started to fall away. I get that some people don't like how complicated the plot gets but I much prefer a thriller that verges on unbelievable than something mundane!
Not sure it needed such graphic depictions of SA, and personally didn't love a little cliffhanger ending for a stand alone. Otherwise, very strong

Hefði fengið betri einkunn ef endirinn hefði verið betri og ef höfundurinn hefði einfaldlega sleppt??? nauðgunarsenunum???? Algjörlega óþarfi, bættu engu nema vanlíðan við söguna.
Fyrir utan það, skemmtileg bók sem var twisty en samt ekki of augljós.
