None of This Is True
by Lisa Jewell

This psychological thriller follows Josie Fair and Alix Summer, two women whose lives become dangerously intertwined after a chance encounter. What begins as a podcast project quickly devolves into a manipulative and disturbing exploration of identity, deception, and hidden pasts, with tragic and violent consequences.
