This was the first Alice Feeney book I’ve ever read, and I’m interested to see how the other books I have on my list to read by her compare to this one. It gave unreliable narrator the entire time. I felt so confused throughout the majority of this book, and when I had everything figured out, I was still slightly confused. Interesting read.

Man this book is twisted. You think the main character is a victim through the whole thing. Awesome plot twist. I wouldn’t read it again because it’s so dark but the author did a great job.

I did not figure out the main plot lines early so I really appreciate that!

Sometimes I Lie started off rather slow for me as I was expecting a fast-paced thriller that kept me glued. The writing style wasn't my favourite either but the pace started to ramp up after almost reaching 50-60% of the novel.

Though, the unexpected twists caught me off guard which I was surprised about. I have a mixed feeling about the change of timelines within the book, it helps me dive into greater detail about our main character's childhood and the events leading to her being in a coma, which continued to pique my interest. At the same time, it can be rather confusing to jump into different timelines so quickly.

However, I really enjoyed the audiobook version and it made the reading experience immersive and tensed. The inital plot had a lot of potential but it kinda fell flat for me.
