She has to go back to her husband and her flatbread and let Alix go back to her friends and her party. Toward the end of the novel, we get more perspectives on Josie as a character and the truth of what she did—from her children, her mother, Katelyn, and others. Lisa is a New York Times and Sunday Times number one bestselling author who has been published worldwide in over twenty-five languages.

I read this in day which I am deliberately not doing any more, because this was such a captivating read and a great book overall. I think the biggest problem is that the title and the structure of the narrative kind of give away the fun?

Alix Summers, a popular podcaster, is out celebrating her forty-fifth birthday when she meets her birthday twin Josie Fair. However, either way you swing it, there is one particular character who is 100% a horrific person regardless of which scenario is correct. A group soon follows behind her, other similarly aged people; someone is holding a bouquet of flowers; another carries a selection of posh gift bags. One of them is Alix Summers; famous podcaster promoting aspiring women who take their second changes for life to achieve bigger things.

She issues a quiet “Bye then” as she turns to leave and Alix beams at her and says, “Happy birthday, birthday twin! but… there’s something about Josie… 🤔…something bizarre…she wears denim… ALL the time… heck her curtains are denim… look 👀. None of this is true is an enthralling psychological thriller that captivates you from the very first page until the gripping conclusion. Anyway still entertaining but felt like there's a truly great version of this story in there that the author just couldn't get out. I am not an expert in anything, but just a person with access to the internet who is trying to learn and make sense of the world!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. 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). Lots of short, punchy chapters, interspersed with a Netflix documentary and podcast extracts, all make for a very fast-paced read. By the time Alix feels unease, Josie has wormed her way into Alix’s life and home, with repercussions that are unforeseeable and devastating.
