Story
When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money and leave. But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive, and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr Shields may know what she’s thinking...and what she’s hiding. As Jess’ paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what is real in her life and what is one of Dr Shields’ manipulative experiments.

I've been kidnapped and am being held prisoner by a strange man. I'm afraid he'll kill me. Please help me soon, Bethan Avery.' Bethan Avery has been missing for nearly two decades.

Hooked from the first paragraph!
What made the experience of listening to Sometimes I Lie the most enjoyable?
The narrator of this book really knows how to read a story! She has such a engaging manner about her, one that draws you one and leaves you wanting more and this, coupled with an incredible storyline, makes this book an absolute must read/listen!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sometimes I Lie?
I can't pinpoint just one. This story is gripping and full of twists that I didn't see coming. One of the best thrillers I have read in a very long time.
Which character – as performed by Stephanie Racine – was your favourite?
Definitely the main character
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
This was definitely a book I wanted to listen to in one sitting! I stayed up for hours listening to you, spell bound and waiting to see what the next twist would involve
Any additional comments?
Read it! I am definitely reading this one again.. I can not wait for Alice's next book

No lie, this audiobook is good!
The first-person narrator of Alice Feeney’s gripping psychological thriller is the central character, Amber Reynolds, who opens by telling us three things about herself: she’s in a coma, her husband doesn’t lover her anymore, and sometimes, she lies.
Her account of the story is immediately dubious and we’re kept on the edge of our seat deciphering what is real and what isn’t over three time periods of her life. In the present, Amber lies in a coma after a horrific single-car accident. Unable to respond, she lays in her hospital bed listening to the voices and movement around her which gets increasingly more ominous.
In the past, we get to know Amber as a 9-year-old child, circa 1991, and as an adult in the time leading up to her accident, working on the Coffee Morning radio show where she manipulates the demise of her more popular co-host’s career.
The divine Stephanie Racine reads Sometimes I Lie with great skill, capturing the innocence of youth, the desperation and guilt of Amber’s workplace backstabbing, and the terror of a stalked woman trapped in an unmoving body as her memories of what happened slowly filter back. Racine introduces the listener to very distinct characters and, as we learn alongside Amber that her accident may have been a deliberate attempt at her life, Racine subtly adds an darkening air of intent to innocent conversations and events.
Feeney has written a gripping thriller. Her characters and most situations are identifiable and, using an unreliable storyteller is a great device for rocking the boat even more than the unfolding events themselves. Compounding the tension after Amber’s confession that she lies, is the early reveal of her stalker. By not leaving the reveal until the final scenes, we’re drawn into Amber’s present-day predicament further, while remaining ever-uncertain if the story will play out towards the most predictable conclusion.

Over ambitious joke
i could not finish the book. First, the narrator is not that great. Differences in characters are usually made through differences in volume. it is extremely annoying because I dont like random shouting when it is really meant to show another person talking. Also, what twists? the plot is overly ambitious, too confusing and 90% into the book, I still have no clue what is going on. I am seeking a refund.

Unlikeable characters
What was most disappointing about Alice Feeney’s story?
It dragged on and I found the characters annoying and shallow.
Would you be willing to try another one of Stephanie Racine’s performances?
No.
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The storyline was interesting however I didn't get to the end.

True psychological thriller that messes with your
WTH have I just read????? My mind is still reeling! I love it when a book messes with my mind, and this must be one of the darkest, twistiest thrillers I have ever read. I am still trying to work out what just happened here!
Amongst the vast number of books that are marketed as psychological thrillers, Sometimes I Lie certainly lives up to its claim. Amber, the narrator of the story, tells us right from the start that she doesn’t always tell the truth – and with that the stage is set. What can you believe and what is a lie? That is the big question throughout the entire book, and I was quite often wrong in my assumptions. I will not go into the plot at all, since this is a book you should dive into blindly with all seat belts firmly fastened, as you will be in for some turbulence!
It is hard to believe that this is Feeney’s debut novel, as she employs just about every plot device the genre has to offer, and she does this very well. The story unfolds in three timelines – the now, as Amber Reynolds lies in a coma, able to hear those around her but unable to move or talk; the days leading up to the accident that put her in hospital; and diary entries from fifteen years ago. It doesn’t help that Amber is also experiencing strange dreams in her coma, which further blur the line between reality and lies. The frustration Amber feels as she is trapped in her own body and unable to reach out to anyone was well portrayed, as was the feeling of claustrophobia and fear as she slowly remembers the events of “before”. However, of all the timelines, I found the diary the most chilling, and if you read the book you will find out why. It was a very dark and disturbing thread that had me covered in goosebumps many times. The undercurrent of menace is always there, at one point culminating in a situation that had me truly terrified for all the people involved. Enough said.
I started out listening to the audiobook, but once things heated up I switched to the print version as I absolutely could not tear myself away and had to find out what would happen – and I read a lot faster than the narrator. My husband is still slightly miffed that I locked myself away in the bedroom with a Do Not Disturb sign, refusing to talk to anyone until I had found out the answers. Answers I could never have predicted, by the way, so cleverly had the author laid her traps. In fact, there are still things I am not sure I interpreted right, and I am just itching to discuss them with someone. Utterly brilliant!
In summary: there are three things you should know about Sometimes I Lie:
1) It is a dark and claustrophobic psychological thriller that firmly earns itself a place in the “twister hall of fame” for its many unpredictable twists that you will never be able to foresee.
2) It is totally addictive and will have you firmly hooked, so make sure you have lots of time to spare when you start reading it.
3) Don’t take anything for face value in this book, and don’t trust anyone!
Anyone looking for a true psychological thriller that messes with your mind – this is it, folks!

Cracking story with a brilliant twist
Any additional comments?
A really enjoyable story with a great twist that I didn't see coming at all. In fact it made me rethink everything I had already listened too. I can't say either character really appealed to me - but then maybe that is the whole point of the story? You love and loathe them both!

Super cliche
The story was full of corny cliches and was badly written. A ‘page turner’ but honestly I wouldn’t recommend it. I don’t think the author had thought things out and just kind of kept making spur of the moment narrative changes.

Bit too contrived but worth a listen.
This kept me involved all the way through. I found it a bit 'how to construct a thriller'- contrived, if that makes sense. A little too many twists for my liking. However, it does the job and a good listen on a long car journey. The narrator was very good.

EXCELLENT READ
Where does Sometimes I Lie rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very original story, with a twist that literally smacks you in the face. Had read the reviews before I listened, all saying about "the twist", so I was looking for it, trying to guess it, and still didn't .. Excellent narration by Stephanie. Get this, you will not be disappointed.
What about Stephanie Racine’s performance did you like?
Real feeling in her words.

Characters
I didn't like the protagonist. The name twist doesn't make sense. The diary was also confusing. The ex boyfriend, the husband. It all seems like random events... the end was not clear and the twist was not clear. Why does she kill? Why is her relationship to her husband normal ? But not to others?
What was the purpose of the other characters? Value add?
Madeline
Claire
Paul
Edward
!!!
I love psychological thrillers, but this was unclear, confusing and the storyline not clear at the end when one would expect it to be. What is the author trying to achieve? Tell us?
Is it a revenge plot?
The writing and style reminded me lots of before I go to sleep, the girl on the train, gone girl.
Plot was unoriginal and a mix of the above.

Evil twist
A very well read book. A disturbing story with an unusual twist. Didn't see the end coming. A bit slow at the beginning but worth the wait. An original and unsettling story.

Kept guessing until the end
Warped but very enjoyable with twists and turns all the way along. Very cleverly plotted unveiling little bits of the mystery at a time. Recommend.
