This gripping page-turner held me captivated throughout, with Josie's compellingly flawed character serving as a central highlight. However, it delves into heavy themes like pedophilia, alcoholism, and abuse, making it a somber and intense read. Laden with suspense and eerie undertones, the novel's conclusion left me with an unsettling chill.

Josie and Alix are birthday twins and they have a chance run in at the bar on their 45th birthdays. Alex is a successful podcaster who lives in a nice neighborhood with her husband and two kids, she is out celebrating with all of her friends. On the other hand Josie leads a very quiet life with two kids who she barely talks to and not many friends, she is out with her husband when she meets Alix. When Josie reaches out to Alix to start a podcast about her life, Alix has no idea what she has signed up for.

Lisa Jewell does it again, I had no doubt that she would! This was such a fantastic read and I loved the podcast element of it and how to brought together the book so well. I went into this book blind (which I would recommend everyone do) and it was so worth it, I had no idea what to expect and the twists were perfectly crafted! It had me on the edge of my seat and had me really creeped out many times. An easy 5/5 stars!

Thank you Netgalley and @atriabooks for the E-ARC to review.

One of the best audiobooks I've listened to in a long time! The interviews for the podcast made it feel like you weren't listening to a book. Very engaging. Also, the story was great and really kept me guessing. I recommend this book to everyone!

This was a fun thriller that had me questioning everything towards the end. Believe it or not, this was my first Lisa Jewell thriller, and I had a lot of fun with it. I enjoyed the podcast trope really well, and I thought the story made sense, and it did not seem over the top. The twists were really fun.

I loved this book. I honestly haven't read a book by Lisa Jewell that I haven't enjoyed. This is a great story for podcasts lovers. I loved the writing, the characters and the story as a whole. This book kept me guessing and one of my favorite reads from last year.

'None of This Is True' by Lisa Jewell is the kind of mystery you want to read! Well plotted, well written, and just twisty enough. The characters have depth and their motivations are well developed. Great read, perfect for book club.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review .

First off, WOW! This book completely took me off guard, yes… it’s had great reviews and of course it’s Lisa Jewell but this book was fantastic. The format was completely new from Jewell and the suspense and secrets sprinkled throughout this story was great. I enjoyed the format of a podcast being recorded throughout the story, with secrets and surprises begin spoon fed to the reader. And the storyline was addictive!
This is a book that will stick in your head for days. Setting a bar for all future crime mysteries!
I loved it! One of my favorites for sure.

My initial rating was a 3, but then i re-read it via audio book and am bumping my rating to a 4 because it was done so well with the narration. Good book. I think this was the first Lisa Jewell for me too.

Truly one of the best Jewell books to date. The characters are complex and readers will questions exactly what's going on until the very end. Lovers of True Crime Podcasts will enjoy the pacing and style of writing.

This was an interesting thriller read for me. The writing did keep turning the pages to see what happened next but when I finished there were a lot of loose ends. I did not like any of the characters and since no one does tell the truth you are not sure who to believe and you do not know what really happened. Despite all that it was a good read.

When two "birthday twins" meet on the evening of their 45th birthdays, their lives are irrevocably altered.

This had a very slow burn to it and the first 1/3 of this book just wasn't really holding my interest. However, once the premise was set and the plot started to evolve I couldn't put this down. I liked the "Verity-esque" reveal. Was not a huge fan of glossing over Walter's wrongdoings. But then again this book really drives home the message of how much a woman will go through to excuse a man's negative actions.

I've been remiss in reading this one, because I didn't realize just how fun it was going to be! This was the kind of story where you want to throw your hands up over your eyes to stop from seeing the inevitable conclusions, but you just can't resist peeking. Full of characters with nuance and rough edges, it kept you guessing even onto the last page. My only complaint would be that I would have liked the daughters to be fleshed out a little more, especially considering their somewhat out of left field importance to the last 10% of the book. But, overall a fun read!

Thank you Netgalley and Atria Books for this eARC!

What I liked:
- complex characters
- dual POV
- incredibly creepy
- always love a London setting
- audiobook was a 10/10

What I didn't:
- could see the twists coming from a mile away.
- ending was a little weird

Overall, this was fast-paced, suspenseful, and a knockout thriller. may be my favorite from LJ!!!!

My fav work my Lisa Jewell to date and that is saying something.

The level of unreliable narration that was created was a masterpiece. This had me flip flopping my allegiances left right and centre.

Masterful

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!

This was such a twisty thriller! I really enjoyed the characters and thought the podcast angle was a very interesting take. While I felt this was a slow burn, which normally isn’t my cup of tea, it moved along at a pace that still kept me entertained and wondering what would happen next. The characters were unpredictable and I was hooked all the way through!

Lisa Jewell did not disappoint. She slowly builds suspense, tension, and doubts in this psychological thriller which did bring interesting twists and turns along the way.

This one had me flipping pages faster than any book has in a long time! I could not believe how compelling and compulsive this one was. I had so many questions throughout the entire book, and as soon as I'd get one answered, a new question would arise. I never knew who to trust or even who I wanted to trust - the mark of a well-executed thriller, in my personal opinion.

I was truly guessing until the last page and even after putting it down, I'm still unsure who and what I believe. The story itself was unique, albeit a tad triggering and upsetting, but the best way to process this is to remember, as the title suggests, that none of this is true. I thought this was perfectly paced and wrapped up perfectly; it even felt like it was giving a nod to VERITY by Colleen Hoover, as if it's up to the reader to interpret what is to be believed. Best book I've read this year and will be recommending and discussing for many months to come.

finished it and i still have no clue what to believe, wow!!! that is my favorite kind of thriller and i’m still kinda speechless
