Sometimes I Lie
by Alice Feeney
Amber wakes in a coma, unable to move or speak, but fully aware that something is very wrong. Alice Feeney turns that locked-in perspective into a psychological thriller built on instability, shifting truths, and the pleasure of never feeling fully settled.
The review
Alice Feeney really knows how to keep a thriller moving even when the setup itself feels claustrophobic.
Sometimes I Lie works because it never lets you get comfortable. The unreliable-narrator energy is baked into the whole thing, and the book keeps nudging you to question what is true, what is remembered correctly, and what is still being hidden.
For me, this lands as a solid four-star thriller. It is twisty in the way you want from Feeney, but it also feels polished and purposeful rather than chaotic.
This is the kind of book I would hand to someone who wants a fast, discussion-friendly thriller with plenty of room to theorize while reading.
If you enjoy books that keep the ground moving under your feet, this one absolutely earns a spot in the stack.
