Amber Reynolds is in a coma, but she can hear everything going on around her—she just can’t remember how she got there, or figure out how to wake up.
This one was…not for me. In fairness, a plot where the main character is in a coma for 30% of the chapters is naturally going to feel a bit slow, but none of the timelines were particularly entertaining to me. I also had a lot of issues with the plot itself, which I won’t discuss here because spoilers.
As for what I did like—there are some beautiful quotes and the writing is really sophisticated. I also really like a twisty psychological plot, so even though the details of this one weren’t for me, the idea behind it all was fun. And, as always, it was so fun to buddy read with some of my faves!
Recommended if you like: cerebral psychological thrillers; multiple timelines; domestic-ish thrillers
CW (mild spoilers!!!): Sexual assault/rape; infertility/miscarriage/pregnancy loss; cancer/grief/death of loved one/death of parents; OCD/mental illness.

It got a little bit confusing at times (especially after the twist) so I had to go back and make sure I was understanding things right but it was good and worth the read!

1. My name is Amber Reynolds
2. I am in a coma
3. Sometimes I lie
The twists and turns in this book were insane. Part mystery, part psychological thriller. Unreliable narrator. Wow. It was a ride.
Minor: Alcoholism, Drug use, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Alcohol
