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?
This audiobook includes additional performances from: Jenny Walser, Kristin Atherton, Tom Judd, Ayesha Antoine, Elliot Fitzpatrick, Alix Dunmore, Dominic Thorburn, and Lisa Jewell herself.

Lisa Jewell is the master/ mistress/ maestro/ don (take your pick) and None of This is True is her best yet. And that is saying something

A good fast-paced thriller! Some good twists and turns, though they felt a bit shoehorned in during the final chapter. The actions of a particular character were really glossed over which was a little frustrating. But overall, this is a good one if you're looking for a page turner. The narration is really good - I was a bit hesitant about the number of narrators credited with having small roles but it worked well with the format of the book. Particularly enjoyed Nicola Walker's narration.

Good twist at the end, and amazing work to turn the whole narration into a very real podcast-like experience.

I was looking for a bit of a change and happened on None of this is true, it's is a rather clever story that starts slowly. But my word does it grab your attention, it's a stunning book brilliantly told, a definite must have. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Truly the best book EVER, if I was able to give it 100 stars I would. I'm delighted I stumbled across this absolute ace of a book. From the story plot, to the format, music, narration, cast it was like nothing I had listened to before. I found myself unable to switch it off painting away oblivious of time way into the early hours of the morning. I loved the different style of the audio book it was like being at the cinema/theatre and being so engrossed and invested in the characters visualising everything that was unfolding. I am away to find any other books by this author and I'm so looking forward to discovering them. A must read/listen for anyone ✨💫🌟⭐

This book is extraordinary! It's bonkers and brilliant - and really quite disturbing. I have no idea how Lisa Jewell came up with the concept but it is really is unputdownable. Or in this case, can't stop listening to. And that, I think, is the best way to experience this novel. The amazing narration skills of both Nicola Walker and Louise Brearley bring the characters of Alex and Josie to life, in a way I don't think reading the book could. This was my first Lisa Jewell novel but I know it won't be my last.

Amazing listen. The plot kept me guessing the whole way through. The full cast of narrators provided an incredible performance - especially loved listening to Nicola Walker. This is a book enjoyed best in audio.
