Product details

Lisa Jewell's None of This Is True is a chillingly addictive psychological thriller that expertly blurs the lines between victim and manipulator, reality and fiction. It begins with a strange coincidence: successful podcast host Alix French finds herself celebrating her forty-fifth birthday in a local restaurant, only to realize that the woman celebrating her birthday nearby, Josie Fair, was born on the same day, in the same hospital, exactly forty-five years ago. Josie, a seemingly unremarkable woman whose life appears drab and colorless on the surface, is a huge fan of Alix’s work. She soon pitches the idea for a podcast about her seemingly ordinary life, which Alix reluctantly accepts.
As Alix delves deeper, Josie's life reveals itself to be a labyrinth of manipulation, dark secrets, and domestic abuse. But who is the real victim? The podcast becomes a runaway hit, but when Josie disappears and a horrific crime is discovered, the narrative spirals out of control. None of This Is True is a masterclass in unreliable narration and gaslighting, utilizing multiple formats—podcast transcripts, police interviews, and the narrative itself—to keep you second-guessingg every detail. It’s a compelling look at how easily ordinary lives can unravel and the chilling truth that you never truly know the people who live down the street.

Key Features

Key Concepts and Themes

The Unreliable Narrator & Shifting Perspectives: The novel skillfully manipulates the reader's perception of the truth. Both Alix and Josie are complex characters with secrets and questionable motives, making it difficult to discern fact from fiction.
True Crime Podcast Culture: The medium of the true-crime podcast is central to the plot, exploring the ethics of exploiting personal trauma for entertainment and the dynamics between the host and the subject.
Gaslighting and Psychological Manipulation: The book delves deeply into themes of psychological manipulation, where characters subtly convince others (and the reader) that their perceptions are wrong or that they are losing their minds.
Hidden Lives and Domestic Abuse: The story uncovers the grim realities of domestic abuse and generational trauma hidden behind closed doors in seemingly normal suburban settings, contrasting public facades with private horrors.
Obsession and Boundaries: The relationship between Alix and Josie quickly evolves from professional curiosity into an unhealthy obsession, as boundaries are crossed and their lives become dangerously entwined.
Media and Morality: The narrative raises questions about journalistic integrity and the public's appetite for sensationalism, and how the pursuit of a hit story can blind someone to the unfolding danger.
