Review

A Gripping, Unsettling Narrative

Lisa Jewell masterfully builds a sense of dread that creeps up slowly and relentlessly.
The story alternates between podcast transcripts, interviews, and traditional narrative, giving the book a documentary-like feel that keeps readers on edge.

Characters You Can’t Trust

Both Alix and Josie are richly layered, flawed, and — at times — utterly unreliable.
Jewell brilliantly toys with the reader’s perceptions, forcing you to question constantly:
Who is telling the truth? Who is lying? And what horrors are being hidden?

A Chilling Exploration of Modern Storytelling

At its heart, None of This Is True critiques the way we consume and commodify other people’s trauma for entertainment.
It’s a smart, timely commentary wrapped inside a compulsively readable thriller.
