Sometimes I Lie

I am confused 😐 »We are all made of flesh and stars, but we all become dust in the end. Best to shine while you can.«

Genre: Thriller Cover: ❄️ Art: Audiobook Meinung: Ein richtig guter Thriller. Er hat mich von Anfang an in den Bann gezogen. Die englische Sprecherin hat einen fantastischen Job gemacht mit dieser Aufführung, vor allem wenn sie zwischen drinnen angefangen hat das Lied zu singen. Ich habe mitgefiebert und wollte unbedingt wissen wie es ausgeht und was wirklich passiert ist. Auch die Sprünge in den Zeiten fand ich sehr gut gesetzt und spannend gestaltet.

Okay, wow !!! This story was so fucking crazy that I still haven’t registered it all in my mind. This book will probably have spoilers !! It’s my first book by this author, but I’ll probably try other books by her some time. The mystery and suspense was definitely there, I didn’t want to lay the book down. I found the plot very unique and interesting. Throughout the book we switch between ‘Now' - her laying in the coma, 'Then' - while everything was still 'okay' and 'normal' and 'Before' - these were diary entries from her childhood. The main character is called Amber Reynolds and she’s in a coma. However, we don’t know how we got here or who’s fault that it. The book kept mentioning her seeing a little girl or imagining a little girl - If I got it right that should have been her as a kid but I’m still not sure who or what that was supposed to be or show ?? Amber has a crazy Ex and stalker (Edward), I got that much. And he was CRAZY - no joke: he put something in her drink and slept with her, had hundreds of pictures of amber throughout his home and some of them he took while stalking her, he raped her while she was in a coma?!?!, and was drugging her on purpose and acting like he was a 'doctor' even though he wasn’t. And Claire turned out to be a crazy woman too😭. One plot twist was that the Diary entries didn’t turn out to be from Amber but they were written by Claire. Amber was called Taylor (it’s her last name, but it’s Reynolds now since she married Paul) , but everyone used to call her Taylor as a child. It also turned out that Paul wasn’t at fault, he neither cheated on her nor did he have something to do with the fact that she was in a coma, I was happy about that😭. The one who turned out to be at fault for the crash was Claire, since she was driving really fast and slammed the brakes while driving to the hospital and Amber flew through the window. Amber was pregnant, but she lost their child ☹️. I didn’t understand the whole lore about Madeline (Ambers Coworker - she’s also been working as Madeline’s PA) but it turns out Madeline wasn’t Claires Aunt she hated. One point where my jaw definitely dropped was at the end when it turned out that Amber poisoned Claire and her husband David with a meal and burned their house down with them in it. Madeline also ended up dead😭. Amber and Paul got the twins (Claire’s and David’s children) and now they’re their parents. I guess we got somewhat of a happy ending? LMAO. I really liked this book, it kept me intrigued the whole time - but at the same time, I didn’t get a lot of the stuff that happened or why it happened and I’m still confused about lots of things but that’s also what made this book so great. So yeahhh🙈.
