Reviews with content warning for Rape - Sometimes I Lie

Woah this novel was awesome! So dark, twisty, and (at times) cray cray! I got drawn into the story rather quickly and it just launched forward quickly and never let me go. I loved the format of the story where it switched from the present day to the previous week, to years ago (in diary form) because it gave away little bits of the story at a time, but held the big twists and secrets in until the end and kept you guessing all along the way.

This book was so twisty, right up to the bitter end and I loved it! I kept thinking I had it figured out, and then I was totally wrong.

This was a wonderful psychological suspense novel and I will certainly be checking out more of Alice Feeney's work!

I always listen to audiobooks, some books seem like they a meant to be heard. This is one of them. The book was told from three different POV: Now - with the MC waking up from a coma, Then - Just before the accident & Before - about 20 yrs earlier. This was a good book, but I gave it 4 ⭐ instead of 5 because even though it was a good read it was a little slow. The first twist I figured out halfway through but it still dragged. There is a second twist (kind of) and the story ends like there is a sequel. Written in 2017 and I read this in 2024, still no sequel.
Narrated by Stephanie Racine.
