ALICE FEENEY'S NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Boldly plotted, tightly knotted-a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous." -AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
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?

This was my third book fro. This author and the second book I've giving 5 stars too. I'm slowly getting cravings to read more from this author. I enjoyed Daisy Darker a bit more but this is close behind.
It has a lot of thrilling elements, juciy drama, a lot of twisty twists and mystery. Can't wait to start another book from Alicr Feeney.
This book was a wild ride
