Naudia 's Reviews > Sometimes I Lie

A twisty road with detours and "road closed" signs everywhere you look. Sometimes I Lie was true to form because our main character, Amber is a liar. I thoroughly enjoyed the aspect that the main character we are presented with has a difficult time with the truth or just avoids it entirely. To me, that seemed like a much needed fresh take, especially on psychological thrillers which are becoming more and more mainstream.

The story is engaging, the characters are sneaky and unpredictable. As I read, I noticed the tempo or pace of the plot changing ever so slightly and yet enough to raise suspicion. Events were presented through alternative "Before" (chapters which were diary entries), "Then" (events leading up to Amber's coma), and "Now" (inside Amber's current thoughts and emotions as she is able to hear everything going on around her.)

The twists were subtle and interesting, leading to the climax of the story that left me with more questions than answers.
