Wow! Every single time you think you have this story sorted out you turn the page and realize you have it all wrong. Even until the very last page, everything continued to change and turn. What a ride!

ONE OF THE BEST PRODUCED AUDIOBOOKS I’VE LISTENED TO YET!

Wish the book up the pace a little sooner, but as soon as you get into the main mystery this book will have you HOOKED. Ended up paying $12 for extra Spotify hours so I could finish which is high praise. 

Minus .5 star because even though I liked all the twists and found the book so entertaining there are some interesting messages that the book communicates that really go against my own personal values.

My brain is so scrambled after binge reading this, it actually hurts?! 
This is every bit as fast-paced and addictive as everyone says it is! When I wasn’t glued to it for hours at a time, I was grabbing it at any quick moment I had just to get a little more. When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about it! 

I physically reacted to the twists many times to the point that my boyfriend was a bit concerned once or twice. Talk about gagged! 

None of This is True is a masterclass in unreliable narrators, and split timelines delivered via various devices from the queen of twisty thrillers!
