None of This Is True

I don't know if I was just in the right space for this book, but I found it was crafted beautifully. With narratives that dole out secrets sparingly, I've found many of them to be frustrating. But Jewell uses only podcast scripts and taped interviews for the flash-forwards. This keeps the 'current' narrative sequential. It worked well.

Also she initially develops the two main characters gently and with care. So as the deterioration implied by the title unfolds, it is gripping. So many emotions. Love it.

I'm not sure if unreliable narrators are really my thing. I don't like having to think so much on everything haha. This was another audiobook read for me.

This book has a lot of dark topics through it, so be sure to check trigger warnings if needed.

This would have been a 4 star for me, but there was a little too much repetitiveness for my liking. It was nice to have only 2 POVs since a lot of newer thrillers have so many views you're trying to track. I also enjoyed the podcast/documentary bits that broke up the chapters.

The ending was ultimately a little anticlimactic for me and it really petered off after the bodies begin to be found.
