My, oh my.... Josie has some serious issue with boundaries!? What do you all think?
'None of This is True; is one of those books that just hooks you based on the sheer fact that when you pick it up and read the first chapter or so, you just know this isn't going to end well and because of that we just need to know how this is going to end LOL!
We meet Josie and her Husband as they go to have a cozy birthday dinner in her honor, with just the two of them. I am thinking, "This is awesome I love a person who is just happy to celebrate and have a simple moment of gratitude. No frills." Then walks in Alix with her glamorous group of friends and loving husband and Josie is like "Ohh,wow. Who is this lady? I need to know. She should be my friend. I want to basically skin her alive and be her. In the most loving way of course."
The rest is truly a slowly steaming pot of chaos and mayhem that really grabs you as a reader. As it unravels it is just something you can't turn away from. Then at the end you are wondering, "Well what is true, what is false, and is it like everything else? Does it just lay in the middle somewhere?"
Who the heck knows... but what I do know is that I loved this book and it kept me up past my bedtime until I could finish the very last page.
