None of This Is True
by Jewell, Lisa
Alix Summer is a successful podcaster who thinks she has found the perfect subject for her next series when she meets Josie Fair at a local pub. The two women are birthday twins, but their lives could not be more different. As Alix begins to peel back the layers of Josie's strange, unsettling life, she realizes she has invited a predator into her own home. This book is a masterclass in discomfort, relying on a shifting, unreliable narrative that forces you to constantly reevaluate who is the victim and who is the villain. It feels like watching a car crash in slow motion, where the power dynamics are constantly flipping. If you enjoy stories that make you feel like you are being played by the author, and you appreciate a dark, voyeuristic exploration of obsession, this will keep you up all night.
