4.5

there were so many twists in this i loved it, some of the reveals were amazing. i sometimes find that in psychological thrillers a lot of the twists are the same or at least of similar variety but some of the twists in this were ones that i hadn't really seen before. 

i also really enjoyed the 3 different time POV's!

i dont think that there is ever a reason to include a graphic rape scene in media, hence the not 5 stars

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.
