None of This is True: Voted CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2024, the addictive #1 Sunday Times bestselling psychological thriller: The new addictive ... bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

A dark, twisted psychological thriller that starts with a steady beat about a pair of birthday twins. It sounds all cheery and fun, until that mysterious sinister element starts cloaking the story little by little.The pace picks up rapidly and had me turning pages to find out more. The main characters are complex and carry the story well on their shoulders. The suspense burns with an explosion in the second half. While initially Josie seems like a promising podcast story to Alix, only later does she discover her rather interesting family.The author layers the story with heavy themes and a strong plot line. The backdrop, descriptions and emotions all play an elemental role in this compelling narration. For all those who love this genre, it is a must read. This was my first Lisa Jewell novel, can't wait to read more of her books. Her writing style is smooth and fierce, a true inspiration for me, personally as an author.

I liked it very much ..it's just there are sick things in the book

I finished None of This is True in 13 hours - literally couldn’t put it down.Omg! I never thought I’d find a character more despicable than Amy Dunne from Gone Girl, but I did. Not getting into that to avoid spoilers but this book was completely crazy.We meet Alix & Josie who share a birthday and that’s where the similarity ends. Alix seems like she has it all, a perfect life, a doting husband, a successful podcast and she’s wealthy. Josie comes off as someone who is on the spectrum, had a traumatic life and barely any money. Josie starts narrating her life story and Alix, looking for a new topic for her podcast, takes an interest. That’s all we need to know before getting into this book.The entire plot is harrowing, I know I will have difficulty sleeping at night for next couple of days. The writing is taut and so is the story - this felt very real, like something that could happen in real life. I generally don’t get this vibe from thrillers.Go in if you can deal with books about the monsters living among us.

How does it feel when a book does almost everything right but loses you at the very end? That's exactly how I felt about None of This Is True.The book started off a little slow, and it took me some time to get invested. But once it found its footing, I was hooked. The podcast-style narrative was easily my favourite part, making the story feel immersive and realistic.What really worked for me was the constant sense of unease. Lisa Jewell does an excellent job of making you question every character and every version of the truth. The story slowly gets under your skin and becomes creepier with every chapter.Unfortunately, the ending didn't quite work for me. After all the tension and mystery, I was hoping for a payoff that felt more satisfying. Instead, I felt a little underwhelmed.That said, the unique format and unsettling atmosphere made this a compelling read.A creepy, binge-worthy thriller with a brilliant format and an ending that didn't fully deliver.

Yeah was good in thriller and suspence but have content not for children.

A must read book

None of this is trueThe title represents the gist of this novel.This is my first Lisa Jewell novel and man what great writing this has been by her.The book hooked me from the very beginning. It was like I could feel a tension while I turn pages , it kept turning from creepy to downright chilling. The setup and the presense of Josie would give anyone the goosebumps in her scene, author made her perfect horror character. On the other hand the curiousity of Alix was there which she wanted out but couldn't because she was captured by Josie in some manner.It's always that something was going to happen anytime soon, and when it happened , it made me stun , and when everything is getting solved slowly, Lisa gives you the last chapter where I sat alone for sometime thinking what just happened here , what is true what is not .From my side it is 10/10

Don't trust anyone in this book .plot twist is waiting to uncover

This was a powerful book that had me hooked from the very first page. It made me consider all the little untruths that we say every day, whether to avoid conflict, or just a bit of harmless fun. It reminded me that truth isn’t something black or white, but many shades of grey, depending on whose perspective that truth is coming from. Families are a great source of inspiration because we all come from one, and some may be better than others. An excellent read, and one I keep pondering on long after the last page!

Solid thriller with plenty of twists. Found myself not wanting to put it down a few chapters in.

Wow what a great read! Have lent it forward it was such a good read

Libro increíble!!No te imaginas el final!!
