In May our mental health fiction group read was chosen by poll. Winner was Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney. Main character in this book has some obsessive compulsions.

Blurb:
"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 asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth? "

I don't usually read mystery thrillers but I really enjoyed this one. Plenty of plot twists I didn't see coming.

Jay V | 6 comments I really liked this book. The twist with the diary caught me off guard, so that made it even better. I didn't really understand that ending though. How did the bracelet get there? Was there a hint or anything to explain that or was it intended to remain a mystery? I'm so glad I found it through my library!

RM(Alwaysdaddygirl) (alwaydaddygirl) | 541 comments I could not get the book from the library. Glad you like it Jay and Mahalo for sharing about it!


Certain books I can hear about all of it, and it does not stop me from reading it. Try this and look through. It might have the answers about the bracelet( I just skim this):
