Well, this was creepy. You meet a new “friend” but are they really? Things really take some twists and turns in this one. A great read!

I was left speechless after reading this bone-chilling thriller which is one of the best works of Lisa Jewel.

Anything Lisa Jewell writes, I will read. I think this might be my new favorite story of hers. The plot, the pacing, the twists? Unmatched. I cannot wait for more!

I like Lisa Jewell and was excited to get an ARC from #netgalley. This book was only moderately enjoyable for me. It had some stalker elements and made me wonder how people don't see this actually happening to them. Who do you believe? is the narrator unreliable? Why is the main character so trusting? Reminded me a bit of Fatal Attraction with two female leads. It was just ok for me.

This was a good read and I enjoyed it. It was a quick read thriller with a decent amount of twist and turns. The overall story was indeed a psychological thriller and I liked that it in podcast style of interviewing. Josie was indeed weird and at times I wished Alix would just leave her alone. Overall, this book was very good, dark, and twisty!

This book was my first book by LIsa Jewell, and I really liked how twisty and unpredictable it was! I really enjoyed reading it, and it kept me on my toes. Although i thought about the twist at the end a lot, I didn't think it would come to be! Great writing and great twists and turns to the plot. The characters were all unlikable, in the best possible way, and it was a really fun read!

Thank you to the author, publisher and Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

WOW! This book had me on the edge of my seat. I had no idea what was going to happen, and there are so many twists that I had whiplash. Incredible story telling, especially (later on) from the eyes of a true crime podcast! As someone who listens to true crime, I found it intriguing and compelling to read from the perspective of the woman making the podcast.
I loved the split perspective of both FMCS, and the time stamps keeping me feeling like I was part of the story. Incredible! One of my best reads so far.

This book was fantastic! It was everything I would want in a mystery/thriller novel. It had just enough suspense to keep me reading, even when I felt that I knew the ending. The characters were relatable in their lives and struggles, which made this book even more enjoyable to read. The ultimate clifff-hanger came at the end of the story.... or is it the end? That's open to interpretation!

This isn't the first Lisa Jewell book I've read, and I have to say I've yet to be ultimately disappointed. However, this book is definitely my favorite of all the titles I've read so far!

Incredible. Amazing. Best thriller I've read this year so far by far! I freaking love Lisa Jewell, her books are always amazing, but this one is TOP NOTCH and I think my new favourite by her! If you're super late to the game like me and haven't read this yet, definitely bump it up on your TBR and prioritize this, trust me its worth it!

Everything was done to perfection. The format between Alix and Josie's POV's , the podcast parts, the Netflix production parts - everything flowed together SO well and definitely kept you DYING to know what happens next. This book is easily bingable and quick paced. The twists and turns were superb and I did noooooot see that ending coming!

Fantastic. Incredible. All the praise!

1000000000% recommend!

Mysterys related to podcasts definitely seem to be popular in the last 2-3 years, but this one has plenty of twists to keep it fresh and different from the others I have read. Incredibly descriptive and hard to put down!

Another banger from Lisa Jewell! One of her best. Stayed up all night reading. Always waiting in anticipation for her next one.

If THIS book is the end product of Lisa Jewell being uncertain during the writing process, I never want her to be sure again. This book was BRILLIANT! The pacing was incredible. The storyline exquisite. The mystery and intrigue, unparalleled. Some are saying it’s her best book to date and that might very well be true. The first of hers I ever read was And Then She Was Gone and this ranks up there with that one, IMO. 10/10 would recommend!

Thank you to netgalley for providing an e-galley for review. None of This is True is such a fun, twisty, never see it coming tale. Birthday twins have never seemed so evil. Alix and Josie meet at a restaurant where they are both celebrating 45 birthdays and Alix figures it makes for a good podcast material, until Josie starts telling her story.

"None of This Is True" had me questioning everything! This was such a dark and twisty book and the more I read, the more I was questioning who was telling the truth. The story was compelling, heartbreaking, and shocking.

This is another book that I read a year ago and did not post a review for. I ate this book up and I regret not telling the world sooner. Lisa Jewell is known for her dark story telling and making you feel like not all is right with the world. None of This is True opens with what seems like a fun meeting between two women on their birthday but quickly takes a turn for the worst. Unreliable characters. True Crime podcast ambiance. It was so dark and twisty. I loved it!

Okay this is definitely an interesting ride. Two women living two totally different and separate lives are brought together in a pub on the same night because they share the same birthday. One of them is a nut job and the story goes from there. Different than most thrillers I’ve read, but I needed more from the ending! Solid 4

Birthday twins coincidentally meeting, getting involved in a new podcast series and secrets start to trickle out!

From the start, Jewell had us hooked, gripped, and fully sat for this mystery thriller to unfold. With unreliable characters, so many twists and turns, this was hard to put down!

This was such a wild read, if you need an immersive thriller to cure your reading slump, THIS IS IT!
