I don't know how to feel about this 😵‍💫 (but I did binge it in one sitting)

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

2.5⭐️ the best part of this book is that it's finally overMy work colleagues might fight me on this one on Monday 🤭 was the premise good? yes, very good actually. It was new and fun and twisty and I loved it. Unfortunately as the story progressed every character became less interesting. I thought oh wait but the storyline build-up is good so maybe there's still time to save the book. Guess what? it didn't save the book 😬 the last 20% was very anticlimactic and some twists just ruined the book ...

This book started off on a really good foot. The storyline was gripping. I was invested. I liked how this book took the podcast element up a notch by adding a Netflix documentary spin. However, the last 20% of the book was a huge disappointment. Without getting into spoilers, this story has two possible scenarios that are left open for the readers' interpretation on what the truth is (if you don't like open ended endings then you won't like this book). However, either way you swing it, there is ...

None of This is True couldn’t be more apt for the title.Alix Summers, a popular podcaster, is out celebrating her forty-fifth birthday when she meets her birthday twin Josie Fair. She doesn’t think much more about it until she runs into Josie again outside her children’s school. One thing leads to another, and Josie convinces Alix they should make a podcast about Josie’s life, sharing her truth and making some big changes. Alix believes Josie has a compelling story to tell, even if she finds her...

thank goodness this is finally over😩i'm well aware i'm in a minority here and i now know not to trust positive reviews so easily after experiencing this complete mess.. listen, idc how you try to spin it, but you can't make me sympathize with the groomer and a pedophile while portraying the minor as a villain in the situation, the whole attempt was utterly despicable and disgusting! moving beyond the problematic content, the book was also painfully dull that it actually put me in a slump as i r...

4 1/2 stars. I want to start by saying: this was absolutely riveting. I inhaled this book. The only way the pages could have turned faster is if I had more hours in my day.The reason I am not giving None of This Is True five stars, which I thought I would for 95% of the book, is that I feel conflicted about the ending. Maybe it is because I have certain expectations from Jewell at this point, and the ending here didn't fit with them... I just know that I wanted more from the final chapters. In a...

Compared to Jewell's previous few books, I liked this one quite a bit better. Most of it anyway.None of This Is True--but what is true and what isn't? That's the question I was asking myself throughout my reading. Josie and her husband are celebrating Josie's 45th birthday in a pub. At a table nearby, podcaster Alix is also celebrating her 45th birthday. Josie has a quiet, reserved, different type of life, and Alix seems to have everything Josie wants. The two meet and discover that they are "bi...

It took me awhile to sort out my thoughts on this one, as it was not quite what I expected, but that isn’t a bad thing. I buddy read this with my sister Irina, and part of the reason I love reading the same book as a friend or friends is due to the fact that you can really hash out your book review content ahead of time. We both ended up with similar feelings on None of This Is True, and foremost agreed that it was a compulsive, must read suspense tale. Lisa Jewell is an incredibly talented stor...

I’m speechless after reading this bone chilling, dark, twisty, mind bending thriller which is one of the best works of Lisa Jewel.After reading a few pages, you find yourself drawn into riveting psychological thriller with unreliable characters, shocking revelations in podcast meets documentary blending in narration of incidents by hours and dates. It starts slow but the sinister feeling tingles beneath your neck, warning you bad things are about to come and sooner all hell breaks loose. So many...
