First things first: this is a very good audiobook. It's a full-fledged production with normal narration, "podcast" material, and "Netflix" excerpts that are engaging and different and fun. None of This Is True would be very good for discussions on boundary setting, the nature of podcasts in storytelling, and the impact of Covid-19.
Ultimately though, it's a slow burn story with an ending that feels like something is missing. At 34% I had an idea of what happened, but in reality the twist was not very twisty and didn't make a lot of sense. I've been a broken record of "I wish the ending wasn't so rushed" this year but man, I wish the ending wasn't so rushed.
CW: Descriptions of grooming, allusions to child sexual abuse, alcoholism

Me the final 5%: oh. Maybe i should have listened to the title
Seriously though the ending was pretty strong in my opinion, though it can be considered a sort of copout for any plotholes I still enjoyed it. Was it a perfect mystery? Not by any means. Was it fun? Absolutely!
