About this book

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 psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

Enjoyed this one. There are a lot of interpretations of what is happening through the book, which I enjoy— but there isn’t much closure on any one “truth” in the story by the end. Still worth the read! Would be a great book club book, discussion wise.
