On her forty-fifth birthday, Alix Summers runs into Josie Fair, who happens to be her birthday twin. Soon Alix runs into Josie again, and Josie convinces Alix that Josie's life would be a great subject for Alix's podcast. As Josie manipulates her way into Josie's life Alix unexpectedly finds herself the subject of her own podcast and must uncover Josie's dark secrets to protect her family.

Despite its decent start, None of This is True lacked the tension I normally feel in Lisa Jewell's thrillers. Jewell does an excellent job mixing after-the-fact documentary and podcast interviews into the plotline to keep you wondering how much of Josie's story is true. Yet, I disliked Josie's character so much that I struggled to stay engaged. Combined with the anticlimactic ending, None of This is True just didn't work at all for me even though it's getting rave reviews from other readers.
