Reviews with content warning for Fire/Fire injury - Sometimes I Lie

I think I read this book too far apart to really give a intelligent review. I will say that all of the characters sucked, but especially the main character and her sister. Definitely check out content warnings because this book had a lot of them...

This book is such an enjoyable read! There are so many twists and turns throughout the book that constantly left me guessing, and I was never bored. I'm not giving it the full 5 stars because it does become a little confusing towards the end and opens the possibility for plot holes, and there are still a lot of questions I didn't feel were answered and should have been. Regardless, I would recommend this book to any mystery lover who enjoys a bit of thrill and isn't afraid of dark topics. This is my kind of book.

now i dont like to compare books in my reviews.... BUT. this is like everything i wanted out of the girl on the train. its so good. going in blind is critical, i wouldn't even recommend reading the latter half of my review if you want to read it. i was hanging onto every word!

overall it was incredible, tied up really well, presented good red herrings.

i will say i found the very end "cliffhanger"/twist? kinda dumb and a plot hole but maybe id have to read the last 2 chapters again. also found that a lot of the diary entries chapters read a bit too mature but also a bit too childish at other times for a 10 year old. but it mightve been intentional

Make sure to check trigger warnings before reading!! I didn’t like the fatphobic/anti-fat descriptions used for some characters, especially at the beginning. Aside from that, solid book with a good flow and kept me engaged. I’m looking forward to reading more by the author.

A dark and truly twisted thriller that is unputdownable. This book tells the story of a woman in a coma in hospital who is semi conscious of what's going on around her. We also see flashbacks of the events leading up to her being in hospital and some childhood diary entries.
This story is full of suspicious characters and will keep you guessing who is telling the truth right to the end. It brings us through the complexities of family relationships and the lasting effects of childhood traumas.
A true page turner.
