Lisa Jewell's done it again! Her books never disappoint and this one was no exception. Sometimes I can find it jarring when there's an element of the story that's not just prose (like poetry, screenwriting tidbits, etc) however for this one it really works. The scenes of the Netflix show really add something to the story and set up the reader for what they'll experience. Even with all of that, I still found myself surprised by the ending. I would think I was coming towards the end only for something big to happen. I've only just finished the book and I'm still questioning everything, in a good way. I couldn't put this book down. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC!

Lisa Jewell does it again! This is such a fun book that is set perfectly to the tone of our current culture. Podcasts + thriller + Lisa Jewell = perfection.

This is my favorite book I read from this author. Highly recommend this book, as well as her other books.

Wow wow wow! This book is my new favorite Lisa Jewell book! The unreliable characters kept the pages turning. I was hooked from the beginning!

Lisa Jewell does it again! I rolled my eyes a little when I saw that this was another "book about a podcaster" that's all the rage these days, but Jewell made it different, and I fell in love with Alix. She's the podcaster with the "everything looks perfect" life, while the reality is far from the truth. While out celebrating her birthday dinner, she meets Josie, also there for her birthday dinner. Josie approaches her in the bathroom and lets her know they are "birthday twins." When Josie and Alix cross paths again, Josie makes Alix an offer she can't refuse. She thinks Alix will find her story interesting, and it will allow Alix to reinvent her podcast and maybe take it to the next level. And boy is she right about that! The backstory of these two women is so perfectly drawn, you can't help but turn the pages to find out the next pieces of their stories. As far as I'm concerned, Lisa Jewell can't write fast enough!

I loved this! I have liked all of this author’s previous books, and I think this one is my favorite. I loved the alternating viewpoints, and the setting. I also love the podcast aspect, and that is quickly becoming one of my favorite tropes in the past year or so. Going in just based on the title, I doubted the truth of everything I was reading, wondering what was true and what wasn’t. I was shocked by the ending! I can’t wait to read the next one by Lisa Jewell!

I felt like I held my breath during every reading session! I hesitated, going to sleep normal hour, because a plethora of predictions swirled in my mind. The heart wrenching, heartbreaking story. Josie tells .Alix rants attention with every word. This psychological thriller wrapped my attention ; Roxy,Nathan, Pat and others play a minor role in the plot, they play a major role in the jigsaw puzzle of Josie’s life. The suspense contained in the story caused me to read during any moments of free time in order to find out how it ends. With half closed eyes.,I felt the urge to turn another page, turn another page, turn another page. Yes, she makes the story that riveting! I appreciate the fact that quality of the story remains until the last page.

I loved this twisted thriller from Lisa Jewell! The story left me riled up, frustrated, and torn in all the best ways! I would definitely recommend it for an original mystery/thriller, Lisa Jewell is great.

If you are a fan of Lisa Jewell you will love this book. Alic Summer is a popular podcaster who decides to work on a new podcast featuring the story of Josie Fair. Josie turns out to be a very complicated character that you initially feel sorry for but as the book goes on, you are not sure what to think or believe about Josie. This book has so many twists and turns making it the perfect psychological thriller. This story is one that will stay with me for a longtime, especially with a great ending that left me with goosebumps! A five star read! Thank you net galley and Atria books for sharing this digital book with me in exchange for my review!.

Wow wow wow! Lisa Jewell, I’m in awe and also slightly scared of you! You are either a truly phenomenal thriller writer or a serial killer LOL! This book was fast paced and I lost sleep over needing to find out what was going to happen next. Such an interesting format to tell the story through the lens of a podcast made into a documentary. I loved it!

This is my first Lisa Jewel novel. I’ve bought some of her other books as gifts for my family, knowing they would love them and now I’ll have to go borrow those books and read them too. 😆 None of This had an eerie vibe from the very first chapter. As the storyline develops it’s fast and furious — hooks you hard. And then you start dissecting any wee bits of sinister behavior. Simultaneously wanting to devour the pages and feeling uncomfortable with what’s coming next. A riveting novel filled with intrigue, toxicity, and subterfuge. It’s brilliant and terrifying, delivered in a highly digestible format that’s very 2023.

A mystery so full of plot twists. In the flavor of Gone Girl (who's good? Who's bad? What even is good or bad anymore?) This book kept me raptured from the first page to the last page. I was emotionally invested in each of the main characters, their good decisions, their bad decisions.

This book is a-ma-zing!!! It might just be my new favorite Lisa Jewell book!

Such a clever premise: Alix Summers and Josie Fair are birthday twins who happen to meet each other in a pub on their mutual 45th birthday. When Josie discovers Alix is a successful podcaster, she lobbies Alix to make a podcast about her, saying she’s on their verge of some big life changes. Despite her inner voice telling her she should be cautious, Alix dives in, fascinated by the darkness and weirdness surrounding Josie’s stories. Before long, Josie has completely wormed her way into Alix’s life and things start turning deadly.

No one does thrillers like Lisa Jewell does thrillers, and I couldn’t get enough of this dark, twisty, can’t-look-away, couldn’t-put-it-down thriller! Josie is a deliciously unreliable character, and her obsession is creepy and unsettling in the very best way. This book is a perfectly paced, intense, wild ride that had me on tenterhooks the entire time!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for providing me an advance copy of this book.

I am currently diving into ANY book that revolves around a true crime documentary/podcast and I'm thrilled that Lisa Jewell's newest thriller is a fantastic addition to this sub genre.

The plot moves quickly while feeling a bit disorienting. Josie is a very strange character but the reader is forced to slowly realize, bit by bit, just how off she really is. The plot takes plenty of dark, tense and disturbing twists and I found myself questioning which narration to believe.

An oh so aptly named thriller and my new favorite from Lisa Jewell.

Wow! My first Lisa Jewell novel, but it certainly won't be my last. I couldn't put it down. I loved the format with the podcast records and the Netflix special script. It made the story seem even more real. Making Alix's marriage not-so-perfect also gave an element of realism to the story. I absolutely enjoyed this novel.

A birthday twin is a fun idea unless she is psychotic! Alix is a notable podcaster who Josie convinces to run a segment on birthday twins Although it seems like a harmless notion, Josie entangles Alix in a web of terror.

I loved, loved, loved this book. The plot kept me guessing right up until the very end. The character development is thorough. Even the unlikable characters have a place in this book. Jewell kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

Thank you NetGalley for an arc of this suspenseful read.

So cleverly written. A birthday dinner creates the chance opportunity for podcaster Alix to find her next hot topic or did the next topic find her. This story unravels Josie and her tale of loneliness, misfortune, abuse and recreation. Alix and Josie’s budding friendship starts to raise concerns of those close until the events can’t be stopped. Life can change in a moment and in the end, it’s a wonder on whose version to believe.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have been a fan of Lisa Jewell for years, and her thrillers are some of my favorites. I was really intrigued by the premise of None of This Is True, and it honestly sounded like the perfect thriller to me. It did not quite live up to those expectations, but it is still one that I would recommend, especially to those who love a podcast element.

In a local pub on her forty-fifth birthday, Alix Summers, a podcaster, crosses paths with Josie Fair, an odd woman who is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. After running into each other in the bathroom, they realize they have the same birthday, are the same age, and were born in the same hospital. Alix decides that Josie may be an interesting subject for her new podcast series.

As they begin recording the podcast, Alix grows increasingly uneasy with Josie, and realizes that they are many uncomfortable, strange things about Josie and her life. Even though part of Alix wants start distancing herself from Josie, she thinks the content will be great for her podcast so she pushes on. As things start to unravel and Josie starts to seep into Alix's life and home, Alix realizes she has become the subject of her own true crime podcast.

As I said above, the premise of this story is absolutely great. Even though podcasts are used heavily in thriller books these days, I thought this was a fresh take that got me instantly hooked. I sped through the first half of this book fairly quickly, but then I lost momentum. The book takes an interesting turn, which I liked, but the ending left me unsatisfied. Overall, I would still recommend this book to Jewell fans or thriller lovers, I think I was just too picky about the ending.

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I read this book in one day. Lots of plot twists and kept me guessing until the very end. I would highly recommend this book if you want an entertaining read.

Lisa Jewell never disappoints but wow this one was one of her best ones. Was a bit confused about “The Birthday Twins” netflix show at the begining but caught on quick that it was a show in the future describing the events from the past.
I truly had mixed feelings about Josie and I still do even after finishing this book.
