Say hello to my new favorite Lisa Jewell book - it was a proper psychological thriller, and I will be raving about it to all my friends. It will make a perfect book for a book club!
I tried my hardest to draw out reading None of This is True, but I couldnβt do it because I HAD to know what in the heck was going on with Josie. There was something about this entire book that had me uneasy. It was perfectly paced without a single dull moment. I continuously felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for the next shoe to drop.
I had countless moments of feeling like I needed to pick my jaw up off the floor with one juicy (and disturbing) reveal after another. It felt like page after page of scenes that were shocking, uncomfortable, and downright sad, and when I thought I would find a lull in the story, the next startling thing happened.
I know there will be readers who donβt love the ending (I wonβt go into details) because itβs not a conclusion I would typically like. But, for None of This is True, I thought the ending fit the book perfectly.
π³ A story that will stay with you
π₯ Podcast meet documentary
π€― That ending
π― A true psychological thriller
π Will make a great book club discussion
ππΌ Perfectly paced

None of This is True cemented why Lisa Jewell is an auto-buy author for me. Her storytelling abilities are unmatched, and I am counting the days until she publishes her next book.
