   No current Talk conversations about this book.  haleychannell | May 18, 2024 |   Genre and nearly dropped it before half way through and maybe should have. (  ) bblum | Apr 11, 2024 | None of This is True is a fast-paced, easy read that keeps you glued to the pages. When Alix randomly meets a woman at a same restaurant, the podcaster, mother of two, wife of successful real estate agent, has no idea what she’s in for when the other woman says, “Hi. I’m your birthday twin.†Alix agrees to interview Josie, the odd woman from the restaurant, and is told a story so detailed, so salacious that Alix is dumbfounded, energized, and a bit worried. As the days go and Josie’s tale grows bigger to encompass how her husband, 27-years her senior, groomed her and is possibly doing the same to others, Alix is unsure where to turn. Doing her due diligence, Alix speaks to Josie husband, her mother, and others who know the woman, and suddenly, Alix’s previous spidy senses are coming clear. Filled with perception driven truths and narratives altered to fit the need, the title says it all: None of this is True. None for her layered, twisty plots, Lisa Jewell has definitely hit the mark with this one. While you will see it coming, as Jewell is intentionally not hiding ‘it’ from you, you won’t see the why until it hits you. (  ) LyndaWolters1 | Apr 3, 2024 |  ) vickiv | Apr 2, 2024 | An absolute page turner, the book is a masterpiece for thriller lovers. Although, the climax ends with a cliffhanger but it was justifiable. Not every story has a perfect ending. To enjoy the story you need to dive deeper in the thought process of human minds. It was really an enjoyable read, Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars. ( ) Sucharita1986 | Mar 14, 2024 | no reviews | add a review

A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix's children's school.

only complaint is the twist that she tried to pull off at the end fell flat for me. she worked really hard throughout the whole book to create an unreliable narrator, so i was not able to get on board with the ending. (
