Sometimes I Lie is the debut novel of Alice Feeney. It wouldn't surprise me if it was heaped praise on many thriller book video blogs because there are definitely mind blowing plot twists in it. Sometimes I Lie was impressive in portraying obnoxious characters. Had me assessing if Claire and Amber's personalities occur in reality life or if so, how many turn out alike them? No doubt there were abundance of lies to be detected once a reader finishes the novel.  The pacing was medium and two specific chapter even deeply shocked me. This may be disturbing, agonizing and mind-bending all in one read.

Nana always said that books made better friends than people anyway. Books will take you anywhere if you let them, she used to say, and I think she was right.

Nana used to say that if you didn't let the tears out of you they can turn to poison.
