Summary
'Despite the challenges--an unreliable narrator, an intricate plot, a shifting timeline, and myriad characters--Stephanie Racine gives a flawless narration of this audiobook...This intense thriller is made even better by her performance.' — AudioFile Magazine

From renowned journalist Alice Feeney comes a riveting new audiobook, Sometimes I Lie.

My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me:
1. I’m in a coma.
2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore.
3. Sometimes I lie.

Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it.

Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller audiobook asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

More praise for Sometimes I Lie:

'With tension comparable to 'Gone Girl' and 'The Girl on the Train,' plus the imaginative Now-Then-Before construction, Feeney unfolds just enough in each chapter to keep you page-turning for more, and her character development is excellent.' — NJ.Com

I don’t quite know what to make of this. But perhaps that’s the genius of it. When you deal with people who who stray from the truth, it makes you question reality. And after this whole story is told, it leaves you with the same. Genius, right?

great book lots of twists and turn had a bit of time getting into it , but worth the credit

Fantastic! If you liked gone girl you’ll love this. Its as if your on a roller coaster and you don’t which way you’ll be turning next. Keeps you guessing till the end. Then you’ll find yourself needed to go over the last two chapters again. And you’ll still think, “what! I didn’t see that coming” Hoping there’s a sequel.

Profile Avatar Traci B Apr 2018

Great book that had me thinking I knew what was going on & twisted another way. It did end with questions, but in my opinion it worked considering how the story played out.

Profile Avatar Kathy L Mar 2018

If you like Gone Girl you’ll like this book. I couldn’t predict what was coming next. So good! Wish I had more time to compliment the narrator, 5 stars, easy to follow.

Very exciting listen and the narrator was excellent! I finished it in a day and a half!

I've read/listened to other Alice Feeney books, so I know her style is quite subversive with unexpected twists. There was something about this book, however, that was too confusing to fully follow at the end. It's presented at the very beginning that you're dealing with an unreliable narrator when she says that there's three things you need to know about her, and the last thing is that sometimes she lies. I felt like I should have been taking notes throughout the book to figure out the lies better.

Listened to this twice so far and feeling like I need to listen again to figure it out! Really good.

I got bored. I would hit the 30-second fast forward button over and over. Decent narrator and story line but drawn out. Too jumpy around and the end was blah

Profile Avatar Cara P. Jan 2024

This book was great, although a little predictable at points! I would say the twist kept your interest pretty well, solid read!

Profile Avatar Dionne G. May 2023

Stephanie Racine is an amazing narrator. I'm going to look for a list of other books that she completed.

Profile Avatar Kylie Mar 2022

Loved it, great psychological thriller!

Profile Avatar Gina M. Oct 2020

Narrator was great. The book was too dark for my taste and confusing. I still didn’t know who was who and what actually happened in the end.

Profile Avatar Stephanie K. Aug 2019

What a great book! I thought I was understanding what was going on, then I had a “Whaaaat?” phase where I was completely confused, then when I realized what was going on, I couldn’t believe it. Dark, unpredictable and addicting!

Profile Avatar B P May 2018

Not very interesting.

Profile Avatar Nancy K Mar 2018

I would like to give this book a higher rating. It started out great, with lots of intrigue, but I think it lost some steam! It left a lot dangling st the end. The narrator was very good!

Profile Avatar Maria E Mar 2018

This book keeps you guessing - that's for sure! However, I like closure at the end of the book and I'm not sure you get that. I don't want to give anything away but this would have been a great book club discussion to see how people react to the ending.
