"None of This is True" by Lisa Jewell totally blew me away! From the get-go, this book had me hooked with its mysterious vibe and constant guessing games. Seriously, I couldn't put it down! Every time I thought I had it all figured out, Jewell threw another curveball, leaving me questioning who to trust.

But what really sets this thriller apart is its format. The whole podcast-style thing gave the story such a personal touch, like I was right there in the action. And let me tell you, the dynamic between the two main characters? Absolutely brilliant. They contradicted each other in the best way possible, adding a whole new layer of complexity to the plot.

And don't even get me started on the atmosphere! Talk about uncomfortable—in the best way possible. The power dynamics shifting had me on edge the entire time, literally giving me goosebumps as I read.

Lisa Jewell is hands down one of my favorite thriller authors, and "None of This is True" just solidified that. Five out of five stars, no question. If you're into crime thrillers, do yourself a favor and pick this one up ASAP. You won't regret it!
