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
