But believe me you do not want to miss this book. It’s one of shock twist and turns. Somethings. Josie talks about makes Alix squirm with utter disgust. Joist manipulates a dinner invertasion for herself and her husband. Which end in disaster as Alix husband never made it back as he was prone to go on a bender.

This is a book that should definitely be read. Lisa jewel has really out donrvher self with this book. It’s a masterpiece and I can not recommend it enough. A MUST READ

BRILLIANT! Kept me up all night, It was suspenseful and page turning. There was no way of predicting how this story would turn out. Great book. Recommended read.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Lisa Jewell is what I describe as a quality author. None of her books disappoints. This one is no exception. A brilliantly plotted book with a fabulous storyline and great characters with a brilliant ending.
I have read all of Lisa's books, and they get better and better. An easy five stars.

I loved this! It's one of those books that I was looking forward to reading every night over the past few days. I was instantly immersed in it; there's no time wasted in trying to figure who's who and where they all fit together - you're dropped into their lives and are immediately immersed in the plot. It's a really interesting premise and I loved the fact that Alix was not perfect either - she was very human and her relationship with Nathan was very well done and very real. As for Josie and her story - fascinating, gripping, jaw-dropping. All the peripheral characters were really intriguing too. The story is brilliantly well done. It's one of those books that makes it hard to move on to the next read as I didn't want to leave it behind. I'll be recommending this to everybody!

Alix and Josie met by chance when they are both at the same pub celebrating their birthday, it turns out they were born on the same day and in the same hospital, however this is where the similarities end. Their lives could not be any more different.
Alix is a successful podcaster and live in a huge house with her husband and two kids, Josie works part time as a seamstress and lives in a council flat with her husband and one of her two daughters. Josie sees this encounter as her opportunity to change her life and convinces Alix to do a podcast about her.
Josie shares her life story with Alix and it soon comes to light that Josie has some very dark secrets, and Alix wants to uncover them, though she will regret bringing Josie into her life...

Another great book by Lisa Jewell, you become totally engrossed with the story and cant put it down until it is finished.

None of this is true by Lisa Jewell. What a brilliant book.. I could hardly put it down.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.

Gee whiz, what a stonker of a book. Late nights as I did not want to put this down. Got to be a summer bestseller.

Twisted warped, plot after plot. Why did it end amazing? Lisa excels in big style this time.
5 stars are not enough for this book.

Forever thanks to Netgalley and Cornerstone for my ARC in exchange for an honest review and especially from one of my favourite authors. I will never ever get enough of the mind of Lisa Jewell! Another classic dark thriller from Lisa. If possible it feels like the darkest and most twisted in her repitoire. Alix is the perfect protagonist as a fan of podcasting she is absolutely spot on for me! I can’t praise this enough. 10/10 for me!

Wow, what a great read. As a fan of Lisa Jewell. I knew this book would be good, this one was no disappointment.

Alix, a podcast creator is approached by Josie. They discover that they are birthday twins and Josie suggests Alix make a podcast about her. Is what Josie telling Alix true or is it all lies?

I couldn't put this book down. I really enjoyed it.

Another great book from Losa Jewell. I read this book so quickly, I couldn't put it down! It was intense and full of twists and turns. It jumped between the story and a Netflix documentary and left me guessing what was going to happen next.

Wow wow wow

What a roller coaster. Very creepy and literally couldn't put it down!!

Feeling very lucky to have had the chance to read this so early 5*****

Josie goes out to celebrate her 45th birthday with her much older husband - a rare outing for the two of them. She is fascinated by a woman at the next table, Alix, also celebrating her 45th birthday but with a very different life, working in the media and surrounded by friends and family.

Josie begins to seek Alix out and when Alix decides that Josie would make a good subject for her series of podcasts their lives become entwined. Lisa Jewell is now established as the writer of gripping thrillers and this one is no exception. Extracts from the podcast interviews alongside the narrative give the reader a growing awareness of the characters and a growing sense of unease as the story proceeds.

I don't want to give any spoilers so suffice it to say that there are twists and turns along the way that lead to us questioning the veracity of all the players. Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a review copy.

Wow, another amazing book from Lisa Jewell. This will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.

From the beginning, the book moves between normal narration and excerpts from a Netflix documentary. The documentary interviews let you believe what's going to happen next but then the plot twists and you are left in suspense.

Alix and Josie are birthday twins, which they both discover when they randomly meet at a local gastropub while celebrating with their respective family and friends. Not only were they both born on the same date and year but also in the same hospital.

Upon discovering that Alix is a popular podcaster, Josie thinks she has a story to tell and makes the suggestion to Alix when "randomly" meet outside Alix's children's school.

Over a series of interviews, Alix delves into Josie's life; where she grew up, how she met her husband and bringing up her children. Josie also gets to know more about Alix's life and not always through conventional methods.

Events after a dinner party at Alix's home will have life changing affects on both their families.

The characters in the book are intriguing and all have a part to play in telling Josie's story.
Thanks to NetGalley, Lisa Jewell and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy.

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Alix is a podcaster, out celebrating her 45th birthday at a local restaurant, when she meets Josie, who is also celebrating her 45th birthday. They find out they were born in the same hospital on the same day. Josie who is married to a much older man and has two seemingly strange daughters, says she is planning to make big changes to her life and asks Alix to interview her for her podcast. Alix agrees, since she thinks here current series is reaching its end. Alix and Josie go on to spend a lot of time together where Josie reveals some concerning details about her life.

4.5 stars.

I liked this book and tore through it pretty quickly. It had enough twists and turns to keep my interest and I really didn't know where it was going. I had some ideas about what was going on, but didn't have the whole story figured out. Another really good read from Lisa Jewell.

Having read and enjoyed a large number of Lisa Jewell's books I was excited to receive an ARC of her new offering. The style of 'None of this is True' is quite different from her usual books in that it doesn't have two significantly different time periods running through the book nor any dominant male characters; a fresh new approach to her work that I enjoyed.

Alix,a successful podcaster, is celebrating her 45th birthday in a local pub when she meets Josie Fair who is also celebrating her 45th birthday. They establish they were also born in the same hospital but is this really a chance meeting? A few days later Josie approaches Alix outside her childrens’ school with a suggestion that she could feature her story in one of her podcasts based on their chance meeting as birthday twins. Alix has her reservations about Josie but her curiosity leads her to agreeing to meet with her and record her story. Little did Alix know the repercussions of this decision both on her and both their respective families. As Josie windles her way into Alix's life the plot darkens dramatically!

This book grips you from the start and leaves you hanging in suspense as you race through the pages desperate to learn what is the truth. There are lots of twists and turns throughout this pacey novel and the way the characters are depicted is enticing.

A great read that will be perfect for true crime podcast fans and those of psychological thrillers where you are guessing what happens right until the very end.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book.

I just finished "None of This Is True" by Lisa Jewell, and I loved it! Twisty, suspenseful and a bit WTF! The format - a book about a TV series about a podcast - made it so engaging. From the start I was completely drawn into the characters and their lives and felt a sense of unease as the story unfolded. A brilliant psychological thriller from the always amazing Lisa Jewel.

Loved this book, through and through. It wears its post-modernity lightly - it is, after all, a book about a TV series about a podcast - and the story itself carries you along with grace and elan. I found it impossible to pinpoint where the suspicions and the doubts start to creep in, where you start to doubt one version and then, tentatively, believe another. The plot is superb, but where other books might rely too heavily on the twists and connections and near-misses, Lisa Jewell fleshes out her characters with acutely observed details. The clothes people wear, the way Josie 'smells like dust overload with body spray' or Walter 'rubs away the sweat on the bridge of his nose' mean you're rammed up as close as possible to these characters. This means that when things turn nasty, there's a claustrophobia to this intimacy.
Noelle, a previous creation of Lisa Jewell in Then She Was Gone, used to be my ultimate creepy, well observed character, but Josie has stolen her crown. As the Queen of Literary Suspense, Lisa Jewell, however, can comfortably sit back and polish hers.

So twisty. A brilliant psychological thriller with so many really cleverly written parts. I thought the structure was so well done, and it kept the pace throughout. In terms of themes, very dark but everything was turned on its head in the end. Utterly compelling.

I just finished "None of This Is True" by Lisa Jewell, and I have to say, it was an incredible read. From the very beginning, I felt a sense of unease creeping up as the story unfolded. It was impossible to stop reading as I was completely drawn into the characters and their lives. Jewell has a way of creating a world that feels both familiar and mysterious at the same time, and the twists and turns in the plot kept me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good suspenseful read. It's an absolutely amazing novel that I won't soon forget.

Wow….. this was such a gripping book which twisted in many directions! I have read many of Lisa Jewell’s books but this one really stood out for me! I loved the story ( shocking at times) and at the end I really did think… Who was telling the truth??
