What readers think of Sometimes I Lie, plus links to write your own review.

I usually like this author but this book is just a hot mess. There are lots of plot twists but they aren’t well described and the reveals are scattered and confusing. I am still not sure who’s who in this book! The ending is just weird and very unsatisfying in terms of resolution. This is truly an unreliable narrator book taken to the extreme. It was a waste of time.

I did not enjoy this book because it is so convoluted its impossible to keep track of the protagonists identities and name changes. it is so unbelievable it is bordering on inane. I would not recommend this book.

Sometimes I Lie is the perfect title for this book. Heed it. I grew to dislike the characters. I then became confused by the characters. But the characters lived up to the title.

The strong point of this novel was the interesting idea of having the point of view from someone in a coma who everyone thinks is unconscious, but who can, in fact hear everything going on around her. The downside is that the author tries to be too clever and ended up leaving me groaning and wishing I hadn't bothered. If you're going to put in a lot of twists and red herrings you have to make them all work rather than just thinking "what would be the most unlikely thing to do" and sticking it in. Didn't work for me anyway. Left me feeling quite cross.
