8.10.2023 - None of This is True

None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Lisa Jewell, and honestly I think her best to date, which is saying something!  5 stars!

Josie and her husband, Walter, are celebrating her 45th birthday at a local pub when Josie notices a crowd at another table celebrating the birthday of Alix, a popular podcaster.  Turns out, Josie and Alix are birthday twins - born on the same date at the same hospital.  Josie has decided that she is due for some changes in her life and thinks she may be an interesting subject for Alix's next podcast, which she proposes to her when they meet again.  While recording sessions at Alix's home, Alix is intrigued by Josie's story.  But before long, Josie has totally intwined her life into Alix's.  Then things really take a bad turn.

Mind blown!  I couldn't put this book down and the ending was crazy!  I loved the Netflix series and podcast extracts which kept introducing new characters and their stories into the bigger story.  The tension kept building and building.  You won't be able to trust anyone and I won't give anything away.  Definitely a must read!
