i wish i could read this all over again. it seems like it starts a little bit slow, but it descends so gradually into something so dark and twisted that you almost don’t realize it’s happening until you’re hit in the face with it. in the best way. absolutely brilliant

4.5

None of This Is True follows Alix Summers who meets a woman called Josie Fair that is her birthday twin. When Alix decides to do a new podcast based off Josie's story, her life gets turned upside down in more ways than one.
The way my jaw was on the floor at the end of this book and my mind was spinning. I am still at a loss for words and trying to figure out what happened in this book, who was telling the truth or lying. I was absolutely blown away and had to stare off into space when I finished this book.
This is such an interesting book if you like twist and turns around every corner. I would recommend that if you like audiobooks to definitely pick it up. This book is full cast and it sounds like you are watching a Netflix type documentary. It really immersed me into the story.
I don't want to say much about this story because I really don't want to spoil anything but my jaw was on the floor the whole time I was reading it. I gave this 4.5 stars because I didn't love this book but I still found it so interesting and will definitely be thinking about it for a long time.
If you're looking for a fast paced thriller and something that will have your head spinning, pick this up.
