Sometimes I Lie
by Alice Feeney
Book Overview
Amber Reynolds lies awake inside a coma: she hears every whisper, yet her body will not move or speak. Pinned to the bed, she listens and reconstructs the week before the crash, suspecting her husband, Paul, played a part; the story cuts between her eerie present, those final days, and diary pages from a troubled childhood shared with her sister, Claire. Memory turns treacherous as fact and fiction smear together, and Amber must choose which version to trust, because the wrong choice risks her safety, her marriage, and her identity—until a final revelation rewrites everything.
This guide maps every chapter, profiles the full cast, and unpacks the novel’s themes—memory, identity, deception, and the corrosive pull of family secrets—while curating key quotes. Inside you’ll find clear summaries, incisive character analysis, focused thematic threads, and essential lines to help you spot every clue and follow each reveal.
