None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
4.5

I love when I'm finally in the mood for a bonkers thriller and I get one that hits the spot. 

The book title obviously means that you should take everything being told in this with a grain of salt, and it worked for me. Keeping the book title in mind made everything feel off kilter as Josie tells her story, and then you start to wonder exactly what the <i>truth</i> is. How much of it is the truth? Are we questioning if all of it is a lie? None of it is true, yes, but what if <i>some</i> of it is? Which parts? 

It was a great rollercoaster to go on, and in the last third I was just there for the ride. 

The mix of traditional narrative and the podcast/Netflix show sections really worked for me.
