It was really good, but I wouldn’t recommend it, at least not without a full list of trigger warningsπŸ˜…

The audiobook though πŸ‘πŸ»so goodπŸ‘πŸ» one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to! The voice actors gave it there all and really sold me the story, so much so that it felt real

I struggled in the beginning of this one. It was a slow start for me, but I'm so glad I stuck with it because the story became utterly engrossing, I couldn't put it down!

As the plot unfolds, the tension increases immensely. Lisa is a master at creating unsettling and disturbing atmospheres and this was no different. Josie's gradual intrusion into Alix's life was well done and it kept me on edge the entire time. 

I highly recommend the audiobook for this one. The entire podcast effects and narration were phenomenal.

None of This Is True is a riveting psychological thriller that's hard to put down! While it tackles heavy themes, the narrative is absolutely captivating in the most disturbing ways. A perfect blend of suspense and psychological depth that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Another great read by one of the best authors. Still not sure what’s true and what’s not, wish the ending was better too
