Her books never disappoint! Lisa Jewel is the queen of psychological thrillers. Thank you net Galley!

None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell is a gripping and twisty psychological thriller that keeps you hooked until the very end. The story’s dark, unsettling tone and unpredictable characters make it a truly addictive read. Jewell masterfully blurs the line between truth and lies, creating a chilling and compulsive page-turner. A must-read for thriller fans!

Wow, None of This Is True completely blew me away! After reading this story, I actually felt as if I could have recorded my own session of the featured podcast, I was just that vested! Jewell's characters were so well-developed they actually creeped me out a bit. Because they were so off-the-wall, I had no idea where this tale would take me. Honestly, I found None of This Is True to be quite addictive. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a fast-paced novel riddled with quirky characters!

This book gripped me from the very first page and I ended up reading it in just two days! This was unlike anything I had read by this author previously, but in the best way. It was fast paced, intriguing, and it kept me engaged until the very last page. I felt like I was really watching a Netflix series and was sad that it was over.
Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy (sorry it took me so long to read it!!)

Have you ever read a book and wondered after is it was true? This twisted tale of Josie and her complicated life takes you through many twists and turns resulting in more than one murder. But, who is the real murderer as each character tells their story, each person paints a different reality. Who will you believe?

What a crazy, dark ride! This was definitely darker than I expected, in spite of the reviews! I had a little trouble getting into this one initially, but once I got into the podcast element-a feature I really loved- I could not put it down. This book made me gasp multiple times, and I really think it is one book where the less you know about it, the better!

Thanks to Atria books and NetGalley for the ARC!

Birthday twins, or as they’re known, “Astro-twins,” Josie Fair and Alix Summers share a fateful coincidence—they’re both born on the same day and year. Their lives take a dark turn when a series of unfortunate events begin to unfold, raising questions about their true intentions. Is there a method to their madness?

The story starts innocently enough, with Alix celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at a local pub. A chance encounter with a stranger, Josie, reveals that they share a common birthday. As they talk, Alix realizes that Josie would be the perfect subject for her podcast. A series of podcasts in fact.

Beneath the surface, tensions are brewing. Alix and Josie’s lives are about to be upended, and trust is tested as secrets and lies begin to surface. The line between truth and deceit blurs, leaving the reader to wonder whether either woman will emerge unscathed.

As unreliable narrators, Josie and Alix are intriguing characters. The rapid-fire twists and turns keep the reader guessing until the very end. Lisa Jewell’s novel is a thrilling and suspenseful read that demands to be savored.

Many thanks to Atria and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

What happens when a podcaster looking for her next big story meets a woman who’s a little too eager to share hers? Alix Summer, a successful journalist, crosses paths with Josie Fair—who, coincidentally, shares her birthday. Josie insists their meeting is fate, and while Alix is unsettled, she’s also intrigued. As she begins interviewing Josie, she quickly realizes that truth is a slippery thing… and some stories are more dangerous than they seem.

I flew through this one! ✨ Lisa Jewell is always a solid bet for suspense, and while I kept waiting for something EVEN CRAZIER to happen, it still delivered plenty of unsettling moments. (Seriously, Josie gave me the creeps from page one! 😬)

What really stuck with me is how timely this book feels. In the age of social media and parasocial relationships, we often feel like we know influencers, podcasters, and public figures—but we’re really just seeing what they curate. Josie thought she understood Alix from her podcast, but real life is never that simple.

And let’s talk about instincts! Alix knew something was off with Josie but ignored her gut in pursuit of a great story. It reminded me of The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker—always trust your instincts! (Like, when a stranger shows up at your house and won’t leave… RUN. 🚪💨)

If you’re looking for a fast, eerie, and thought-provoking thriller, add this one to your TBR! 🎧📖

The beggining of this book had me absolutely HOOKED. I was so taken by the story and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what happened. However, I did feel like the twist wasn't as dramatic or interesting as I expected. It felt like so much lead up for an anticlimactic ending. But overall I would say the journey was worth it and would definitely recommend.

I am a sucker for book that use multiple modes of storytelling!!! The authors decision to flip back and forth between utilizing a podcast format and a normal storytelling formal was amazing. I really didn't know where this story was going as the story progressed, but Josie's character was unsettling enough that I tried to read this in one sitting to uncover the truth behind her character. This book made me feel icky in the way that Lisa Jewell most likely intended - curating an unlikeable antagonist that you later find out is a product of abuse and wrongdoings on others' parts.

My only critique is the title itself - I felt it was a major giveaway and left me hesitant to immerse fully into the story, knowing whatever I was reading was untrue...

4/5

Lisa Jewell is a master at her trade.

None of This is True is absolutely twisted. It draws you in and doesn’t let you go until the very last word.

With this story mostly written as a pod cast you really feel
like you are listening to that pod cast with all its twists and turns. You really believe what you’re reading then out of no where you’re hit with the biggest twist of all.

Loved this story.

This author never misses. The suspense is so good, the twists and turns are fantastic. I loved this one

This was another addicting story by Lisa Jewell!

Lisa Jewell never disappoints! This book was full and f twists and turns, and I enjoyed the ride!The characters were interesting and the presentation de was unusual. I enjoyed the suspense!

My first Lisa Jewell book and I wasn't overly impressed, but it was suspenseful and grabbed my attention pretty quickly so really, a 3.5 star read.

The whole story was super captivating and I loved how the podcast was woven throughout the story too. The characters were well developed and I liked how they all played into each other. I was fully hooked until the end and I just think the whole thing was a bit out of left field and a little preposterous. Overall, a bit too unrealistic for me.

Another great book from Lisa Jewell. I love a good thriller, especially one that also contains a podcast as a plot device. Jewell uses this podcast effectively to tell and move the story along. The book centers around two women; Alix and Josie. Alix has a podcast and soon she finds herself casting Josie as the main story in her podcast, but Josie is much more than what meets the eye. Josie's story is very dark and mysterious, and will keep readers on the edge of their seat as they discover her background alongside Alix. If you are a fan of Jewell's you will not be disappointed in this one!

This book was a little disappointing compared to some of Lisa's other books I have read but it was still good nonetheless. I thought parts of the book were very predictable. It was a pretty easy, quick read. I would recommend it.

An excellent mystery. Good pacing and very suspenseful. The atmosphere was unsettling. I was slightly disappointed by the ending, but it made for an excellent discussion with other readers.

A thriller full of unreliable narration that kept me on the edge of my seat! I loved the podcast aspect of this book - it was super unique and added some fascinating twists as you kept reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks they've seen everything in the thriller genre!
