Christmas is barely over but Amber doesn't have much to celebrate. She's in a coma, trapped with an active mind but an inactive body, able to hear and understand but not respond to what is going on around her. And her mind's a little fuzzy on a few things too, like how she ended up there, who else was involved, and what it all means.
This book swept me away and the stories within stories gripped me tight. The woman lying there, seemingly peacefully in the crisp white hospital sheets seems so different from the woman on the radio show, or the young kid from 20 years ago. ''Sometimes I lie'', she tells us, and so beyond working our way through the clues, we also have to sift the truth from the fabrications. Who can you trust when you're not sure you can trust yourself?
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending us a copy to review. We also have a review of [[I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney]].
Sometimes other people lie too, and [[Lie with Me by Sabine Durrant]] is a great example that men can also be fibbers. We think you'll also love Feeney's [[Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney|Rock Paper Scissors]].

|comment=Could someone please explain what this story is all about. I get it that lies will be told but when one character suddenly changes into another I am completely baffled. Is this the sign of a good story or not?
 
I like that Amber/Claire have a happy ending with their or their sister’s children but what happened to the other sister/friend. Have I just not paid attention?
 
Are all Alice Feeny’s novels like this or dare I risk another one? Dare I re-read this one when I feel stronger!!!
 
Please, someone out there give me a correct series of events with names etc
