A review by sarafinley
Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

1.0

This was very much not for me.

I think the plot and twists would have been sufficient enough without the involvement of Edward and the very detailed rape scenes.

At the end of this book I had more questions than answers, and the parts that stood out the most weren’t even the biggest plot points- just the most disturbing.

Graphic: Murder and Rape

Moderate: Emotional abuse and Child abuse

the main character starts showing signs of OCD after severe childhood trauma. There were times where this character is called insane for her behavior. It also seemed as though these actions associated with her OCD were suppose to lead us to further believe she was an unreliable narrator - which it already established in other ways that she was.
