I really enjoyed this story, I'm a big fan of Lisa's, and this one did not disappoint!

This story followed Josie & Alix, who met on a night out, and it just happened to be both of their 45th birthdays (birthday twins!). Alix makes true crime podcasts, and Josie befriends her later on to do a podcast on her.

I didn't know how this was going to pan out the whole way, and then ending was so twisty!

Psychological thriller that had me at the edge of my seat. Very smart, dark and some great twists.
Thanks to Penguin and Netgalley for the
ARC.

I’d like to thank Rachel Quin and Penguin audio for inviting me to take part in the blog tour for this fab audiobook!

🎙️Can we first take a moment to talk about the fantastic narration. The whole style of the book from the podcast interviews to the multiple narrators really brings the story to life.

🤫I felt myself changing sides throughout the book. Lisa Jewell had me doubting everything and suspecting everyone until the final moments. Those chilling final chapters really messed with my head!

⭐I was planning to post my thoughts throughout the listen-along but I found the story too addictive and ended up finishing it in a day! I had to know what happened next!

🕵🏻‍♀️This was a classic Lisa Jewell, filled with mystery, intrigue and chilling characters. Buckle up readers because you are in for a ride!

I really enjoyed this book! Lisa Jewell is an auto buy author for me, and stories like this are exactly why. She grabs you from the first oages, immerses you into her stories and refuses to let go until the very last page! Would definitely recommend!

Josie and Alix encounter each other in a fancy restaurant, where each are celebrating their 45th birthday. when they find out that they were born on the same day in the same hospital, it kicks off an encounter that will impact their lives in ways they could never have imagined.

Alix is a successful podcaster and entrepreneur, living a beautiful life with her handsome, successful husband and children. Josie is a part-time seamstress, living a quiet life with her much older, retired husband.

Josie starts telling Alix her story and the darkness starts to slowly reveal itself, but how much of her story is true?

We learn the story of Josie’s life along with Alix as she reveals more and more of her story for the podcast, and it is riveting to follow the twists and turns as Alix follows the story and then starts investigating it herself, as she starts to suspect that she may not be getting the full truth from Alix.

The suspense builds throughout the book, culminating in an outcome that I didn’t guess, which I loved - I read a lot of this style of book and it can sometimes be predictable, but I didn’t feel that about this. The characters were well drawn and believable, and I really enjoyed the story.

I think Lisa Jewell has firmly found her niche in this style of book and cannot wait to read more!

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

An engaging psychological thriller. Set aside your weekend as once you start you won’t want to stop reading! Brilliant.

I couldn’t put the book down, I have always been a fan of Lisa Jewell and I think this is one of her best.
The characters were complex and interesting and the twists and turns of the story kept you guessing up to the end. A fabulous read I strongly recommend.

Addictive story I couldn't stop reading. One of Lisa Jewell's best, I really enjoyed both stories and the twists. I wasn't too happy with the final ending but I liked the lead-up to everything.

I've read a few books by this author so knew I would be expecting a twisted thriller. We meet Josie Fair and Alix Summers who are birthday twins, born on the same day, year and hospital. They don't know each other and are strangers until they meet in a restaurant where they are both celebrating their birthdays. Josie seeks Alix out afterwards, knowing her to be a well known podcaster, with a view to telling Alix her story.

This was a very suspense filled read. Both characters were interesting, although I liked Alix more than Josie. Josie was a strange character and whilst I should have liked her and felt sorry for her there was something about her I didn't trust. Alix is persuaded into doing a story on the fact that they are birthday twins, but the story changes as Josie begins telling Alix about her life. Josie certainly made me feel very uneasy throughout the whole story, but initially I couldn't work out why!

The storyline is told from the points of view of the two main characters, alternating through the chapters as we go. It's a little bit of a slow burn, but the tension and suspense builds as the story moves on. It twists and turns throughout and you are left with wondering who is telling the truth...if anyone is! The ending was a slight letdown for me, with the usual twist at the end missing. I still really enjoyed the mystery and intrigue between the two women and was totally immersed in their storyline. Would recommend.

I was really excited to get a copy of this one and did enjoying reading it. But it isn't my favourite Lisa Jewell - it lacked her usual twisty ending and just kind of ambled along for me. That said, I did like the book and read it really quickly, so I would absolutely recommend it to a thriller reader.

Compulsively readable, sinister and yet totally believable. I couldn't put this down! None of This is True was written by Jewell in about 6 months, and the pace of the story reflects this. There was no time to draw breath, I just had to read on to find out whether Alix would be okay, and if Josie was really the woman we are led to believe she is. Twisty and clever, None of This is True demonstrates Jewell's mastery of psychological thrillers.

This is somehow my very first Lisa Jewell novel and I am now absolutely hooked! I love that she doesn't shy away from the darkness and really goes for it - and these characters are so delicious, I'd follow them anywhere. I can't wait to dive into her backlist!

Lisa doesn’t disappoint and this is another great read
A brilliant storyline and great page turner
Can’t wait to read her next book
Thanks NetGalley

Lisa Jewell never fails. I read this a while ago and forgot to write a review (so sorry!) but i enjoyed this book so much that i bought the hardback on release too! 4.5 stars from me

Wow! Another 5 star success story from Lisa Jewell. Full of the usual twists and turns, this will have you fixated from page to page. I read in one sitting as I just couldn't put it down. If you love Lisa Jewell, you'll love this book!

I don’t know what to believe!

This book had me completely hooked! I found it interesting the way it was done through a podcast style. It worked really well. I have since listened to the audiobook version which is also fantastic. The audiobook switches from narration, to podcasts and broadcasts to high makes it easier to listen to.

What a fabulous audiobook!
Oh, I love those times when you start an audiobook, and you are hooked straight away. You love the premise, the narrator, the style of writing. You listen to it as much as you can, and then you have an audiobook hangover when it's finished. Where you want to replicate it, but nothing holds your attention like it did.
This is one book that I would recommend the audiobook over the regular book. It reads perfectly as an audiobook- the cast of characters and the different points of view. I also loved the little additions like the background noises to add authenticity.
All the narrators were amazing, and my attention was held through the entire book.
The plot? I love true crime podcasts, and this book has reminders of True Crime Story, which I also loved.
There are times when I gasped out loud at the developments, and there are some shocks in store in the second half. I am still getting my thoughts together on the ending!
Highly recommended.

You can't go far wrong with a book by this author and this one doesn't disappoint either. Nice short chapters and lots of twists and turns, Loved it!

Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summers crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins. Josie listens to Alix's podcasts and thinks that she might be an interesting subject for her series. Josie's life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can't quite resist the temptation to keep making the podcast. Slowly she starts to realise that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets. Who really is Josie Fair? And what has she done?

I loved this thrilling page turner. This is perfect for spooky season, I couldn't put it down. With the chapters alternating between the perspectives of Alix and Josie, you find yourself questioning what to believe. A fast paced dramatic read. Get this one on your reading pile!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

None of this is True is another captivating and twisty read by Lisa Jewell, which, after reading the title, makes you question everything the main characters say and do from start to finish.
Josie Fair is married with two grown-up daughters and a husband much older than her. On her birthday night out with her husband, she meets Alix Summer, who's also out with her husband and group of friends celebrating her own birthday. The women briefly meet in the ladies' toilets and realise they're born on the same day and are the same age. Josie goes home and becomes obsessed with Alix after discovering she's a successful podcaster who's done a series about influential women. Josie barges into Alixs life with a proposal Alix can't refuse and from there, a dark and sinister story unfolds - but how much is true...
I loved this book and was on edge with Josie but tried to give her the benefit of the doubt at times. Lisa Jewell knows how to twist a clever story and cover all bases. This book does have some stomach turning past time events which unfold, so please check the trigger warnings.
