At that point, I liked the book very much until Feeney pushed the "sometimes I lie" too far in the end. Many of the twists and turns in the plot, especially when Paul finds the diaries, were shocking but believable, making me rethink everything that went before. (Yes, I know that's the title of the book - perhaps it shouldn't have been.) It was truly overdone. I wish that the author gave us more clues about that - my guess would be that it was not really the case, but a misconception on Amber's part.What I ddisliked about the book was the whole "sometimes I lie" thing. Her thoughts were drugged and jumbled, making her the perfect unreliable narrator character.One thing I thought was missing in the book: I wish there were more to explain how a beloved daughter is suddenly unloved after developing OCD and becoming withdrawn. I loved seeing the world through the ears of comatose Amber, aware of her own memories and the voices in the hospital, although no one there knew that she could hear what was going on. This novel is a thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat.
