None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
3.5

TL;DR: a great book club pick but not the best thriller

A podcaster and her subject’s lives become eerily entwined. Is the subject’s odd behavior a symptom of a hard life, or is something sinister at play?
I gave this suspense novel a 4/5. It kept me flipping pages, but my whole book club felt like it actually wasn’t much of a thriller. The questionable reliability of all the characters - it’s in the title! - made our discussion fun. We peeled back layers that some of us hadn’t even though about! I think I would have liked it better if I felt more of a connection to the main character.
