Review: Sometimes I Lie - By Alice Feeney

Sometimes I Lie - By Alice Feeney
Audio book
MacMillan Audio 2018
Narrated by Stephanie Racine

My Rating (out of 5)
⭐⭐⭐⭐

There are three things you should know about this book. 1). It is very "twisty"  2). Even when you think you know what is going on - you don't, and 3). It is difficult to put down.

The story starts with Amber who is in hospital. She is in a coma, but is aware of her surroundings.  She can hear, she can feel, but she cannot move, open her eyes, or remember how she came to be in the hospital. She does know that her relationship with her husband has been strained, and that there was another person involved with the accident that put her in the coma, but she cannot remember exactly who. As her awareness increases, she knows that  she is still in danger.  As memories slowly return, she is desperate to wake up before it is too late.

The timeline shifts from current day, to recent history, to years in the past via childhood journal entries. Shifts in timeline are very clear and easy to follow.

The narrator was talented and played all of the roles very well.

A riveting book, well worth the time.

Happy Reading,
Christine
