“Some similar themes to some of her other books (TW: sexual abuse of minors) but still really enjoyed! When you think you know what happened it changes again! ”

“A total page turner from Lisa Jewell that will keep you reading as fast as you can to find out what happens and what is true and what isn't. Highly recommend.”

“I love a good psychological thriller, but I’m not as keen on unreliable narrators, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean, it lays it all out there in the title: none of this is true. So, although I thought I had it all figured out pretty early on, this book really kept me guessing – and second-guessing myself! The title instilled enough doubt in everything going on that I wasn’t sure which characters to trust, whose side of the story was true, and who was manipulating whom. I was dying to find out what really happened, and at the same time, I felt as if I was watching a horror movie while peeking through my fingers. I think Lisa Jewell does a great job with the dark subject matter to create a suspenseful story that you can’t help but get swept up into.”

“Wow - many of the characters in this book reaffirm my belief that the more people I meet the more I love my dogs! Nasty, dysfunctional, controlling and selfish are the nicest descriptors I can thank of for a member of the Fair clan. I liked the inserts of the fall out of what has not happened yet in the book so that you know something awful is upcoming, but you just don't know what - yet. Alix Summer and Josie Fair happen to have the same dates of births and were born in the same hospital. Birthday twins. They meet when Josie follows Alix into the bathroom at the restaurant where they are all dining on their 45th birthdays. Alix has just finished a podcast series called 'All Woman'. Josie becomes obsessed with Alix and listens to podcast series religiously. She is miserable in a marriage to a man that she met when she was 15 and he was 42 (and dating her mother)... Josie believes there is something in the universe bringing Alix and her together. She talks Alix into meeting with her and proposes a podcast featuring someone who is about to change their life...But Alix soon discovers that Josie is not who she claims to be, and the real Josie is about to be exposed. Who is this person that she has let into her life and her home? This is a completely addictive and moody read with twists and turns that keep you hooked until the unexpected ending. ”

“We loved this psychological thriller!!! Gritty and dark characters warped by their experiences and fighting inner demons left us invested in the characters and absolutely surprised by the ending!!! Twists and turns begin with a pair of birthday twins, two women born at the same hospital on the same day, who meet by accident while celebrating their 45th birthday. This shared birthday is the only thing they have in common, and yet their lives twist together. Characters are fantastically portrayed, plot is tight and fraught with tension, and the twists and turns are well developed. ”

“While a singular unreliable narrator throws any story for a loop, imagine a book with multiple unreliable narrators and WOW! You have None of This is True" in a nutshell. This psychological thriller kept me on the edge of my seat and continually wondering what pile of crazy was coming next. I am still puzzling over what really happened and who (if anyone) was telling the truth. ”

“I rarely go for recordings with multiple narrators (personal preference only), and it's even less often that I definitively recommend folks pick the audiobook over print regardless of their usual method of consuming literature. But THIS BOOK!! Producing the audio edition as a true crime podcast (because, you know, the story is about a woman making a podcast), was BRILLIANT and SO WELL DONE! 10/10, no notes on production. The story is absolutely compelling and I love me an unreliable narrator. My only complaint is with the epilogue, but you know what? My complaint will always be with the epilogue, so don't worry. Just read it. You won't regret. ”

“I enjoy a good thriller - and this one fit the bill! Interesting premise, believable characters, good storytelling and plot twists. The narrators did a great job giving each person a voice, making it pleasurable to listen. ”

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author known for her “superb pacing, twisted characters, and captivating prose” (BuzzFeed), Lisa Jewell returns with a scintillating new psychological thriller about a woman who finds herself the subject of her own popular true crime podcast.
Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summer 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.
A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie has been listening to Alix’s podcasts and thinks she might be an interesting subject for her series. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life.
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 realize that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it, Josie has inveigled her way into Alix’s life—and into her home.
But, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. Only then does Alix discover that Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and that Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her family’s lives under mortal threat.
Who is Josie Fair? And what has she done?

Reviews
"This mystery opens with the chance meeting of two women. Alix is a successful podcaster, a seemingly happily married mother of two who is living a carefree life. Josie appears at first to be an awkward, sheltered woman with a disturbing past. As Josie makes her way into Alix’s life, her disturbing past takes on an entirely different angle. The performances of Nicola Walker, as Alix, and Louise Brealey, as Josie, are remarkable. They both embody their characters in a way that drives the story forward and makes the novel seem frighteningly believable. The other performances add even more drama as the plot twists and turns. All the narrators are top-notch, making this audiobook a riveting and cinematic listen." Expand reviewsWant the printed book?
