None of this is true” is a gripping and suspenseful novel that follows the story of Alix and Josie, two individuals who meet by chance as birthday twins. The narrative takes a dark turn as Josie invites Alix to interview her for a podcast, piquing Alix’s curiosity. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems, and the truth varies for each character.
The book is a page-turner, with each twist and turn leaving readers shocked and eager to discover more. The ending is particularly satisfying, maintaining the chaotic theme of the story. Josie’s sections are notably eerie, adding to the novel’s unsettling atmosphere. I found myself rooting for Alix as she navigated the complexities of the situation.
Overall, “None of this is true” is a captivating read that leaves a lasting impression. I was a big fan of the suspense and writing style of the story I am eager to explore more works by this talented author.

I struggled to get into this one in the beginning, but once they started recording the podcast, I was drawn in. This story had so many twists and turns, and you never knew who to believe. I liked Alix as a main character, although there were times I wanted to scream at her to do things differently. Josie was such an enigma and an unreliable narrator - I'm glad we sometimes saw things from her point of view. I was kept guessing all the way through. This is my favorite book by Lisa Jewell so far!

WTH IS THAT?! Wait, can someone please explain? i am so confused, so who do i trust now?

I have not read a mystery/thriller book that left me feeling empty in a long time. and OMG, this book gave me the literal chills. I love how the book is written in a mixed-media format, with interviews, podcast scripts, etc. and as we get further into the book, all the interviews start to make sense. I also like how most things were unpredictable, like i had so many scenarios playing in my head about how the ending will be, but none of them were the one.

That said, i was also expecting the ending to be something more shocking. I didn't predict the ending because my brain was wild on imagination and i was kinda let down. I expected something more. I thought the setting was built up well, and the ending felt abit off.
