Celebrating her 45th birthday at her local pub, podcaster Alix Summer crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie is also celebrating her 45th.
A few days later, they bump into each other again, this time outside Alix's children's school. Josie says she thinks she would be an interesting subject for Alix's podcast. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life.
Alix agrees to a trial interview and indeed, Josie's life appears to be strange and complicated. Alix finds her unsettling but can't quite resist the temptation to keep digging.
Slowly Alix starts to realise that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it Josie has cajoled her way into Alix's life - and into her home.
Soon Alix begins to wonder who is Josie Fair really? And what has she done?

My Opinion
None of this is True by Lisa Jewell is a wonderful thriller which shakes you to the core. The plot is fast and gripping right from the start. As an audiobook, the story gives you all the chills needed to feel the story and its characters. The narrators have done a wonderful job and their voice created a dark atmosphere. Josie's character was the most dangerous one and the author has done a wonderful job portraying her.
An absolute page turner, the book is a masterpiece for thriller lovers. Although, the climax ends with a cliffhanger but it was justifiable. Not every story has a perfect ending. To enjoy the story you need to dive deeper in the thought process of human minds. It was really an enjoyable read, Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars.
