None of This is True

 None of This is True by Lisa Jewel (2023, 400 pages)

Imagine you're out for dinner to celebrate your 45th birthday, and the woman at the next table over happens to be celebrating her 45th too! You two connect in the bathroom over your shared circumstances.

This is how Alis and Josie first met. Alix runs a podcast about successful women, and Josie feels like she has a story to tell about her own life that's about to change. What else do these two women have in common? What's different, or should I ask, appears to be different?

I listened to the audiobook, which I highly recommend because there are bits that are from podcasts and news broadcasts, and it's like actually listening to it! The book really lives up to its title, in classic Lisa Jewell fashion.

Fun mystery, but not a whodunnit but more like watching a tapestry being unwound in reverse. The bits and pieces come together and woven through. It's one of those books that you can sit back and not spend a lot of brain power on trying to figure it out before she tells us -- you can just watch it unfold. Good characters and eerie feelings, overall an interesting suspense book!
