A review by nelliesummerfield
None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell

Page turner, really had me gripped tbh. I enjoyed the dip into thriller/mystery which is kind of unusual for me. I didn’t really know what was going to happen next and while a lot of the other reviews say the ambiguous ending is unsatisfying I actually think it made the whole thing more interesting and nuanced, I wish it had been a bit more fleshed out rather than kind of tacked on the end. But then that might have been a bit much. Anyway overall it was a good read but I do have a few issues with the fact that the main plot line is about a woman lying about being a victim of domestic abuse. It’s so hard to be taken seriously as a woman who has actually been assaulted, so adding to the stigma with a novel based around someone who was lying is not something I agree with at all really. 

Has made me think I’ll read more mysteries though.
