Veselin.blogNone of This Is True by Lisa Jewell, Book Review
This is such a good book title. You can hardly come up with anything better than it. It can apply to anything. Get a speech or a news announcement or even a billboard, you say the title and it gets a new meaning.
In our case, the book is an unusual thriller. Think Freida McFadden but with a very different tempo. Radical show, don’t tell.
Alix is a podcaster who thinks she found a hidden gem. Josie is a mom of two and in the middle of some kind of a tragic situation, living with a probable elderly molester. Josie is the gem Alix found. Josie will reveal a career-defining story. But what part of the story is true and what will be the consequences?
This summary sounds pretty ordinary. This book isn’t ordinary. The story doesn’t follow any familiar or common patterns. I can give you some cringe or rare examples of similar books but don’t want to as I don’t want to spoil anything. It is weird and a bit slow, or at least has a slow start, but it will not disappoint if you give it a chance and stay with it long enough.
On my records, it gets a full 5*/5, a rare jewel in a genre, dominated by strong law enforcement people, tricking the evil.
Print and translation were also great.
I already purchased another book by the same author.
