The book starts simply but sinister enough. From the beginning, you already know you’re dealing with an unreliable narrator, but is she telling little white lies? Or is she telling a whopper? Okay so there’s more to that blurb, but when I was looking at the cover at the store I read that much before I put it in my basket. There are three things you should know about me: I wasn’t sure Amber Reynolds was the Amy Dunne character I was hoping for, but I am so glad I took a chance on it.

I’d seen it around during release time, but didn’t know much about it. I stumbled across Sometimes I Lie at the B&N book sale. To me, that’s the hallmark of a great character. Maybe you read the book and found her intolerable, but there’s no doubt that anyone who did read it was left feeling some type of way about Amy. I think Amy Dunne’s character, despicable as she is, is absolutely brilliant.

So the past few weeks I’ve had a craving to read something similar to Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
