Alix Summers is celebrating her 45th birthday at a pub and another woman Josie Fair notices they share the same birthday and lets her know they are birthday twins. Josie realizes Alix is a podcaster and comes up with an idea to tell Alix her story because she needs to change her life.
It appears everyone has already read this one!
But if you like
- unreliable characters
- questioning of what is true (hence the title)
- a mid-life story
You might enjoy this one!
