The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell
I kept stopping and starting this one and at 30 percent gave up and moved onto two other books instead. I just think that Lisa Jewell is at best miss for me at this point. I think I will just check out a sample before I just borrow or buy anymore. This is the first in a duology I believe, and I have zero intention of finishing this. The only thing I can tell you is that a woman named Libby finds out about her […]
I Found You by Lisa Jewell
Trigger warning: Sexual assault I struggled with the rating on this one, but honestly it’s a three star read. I think that there were way too many gaps in this one and the past POV with Graham honestly took away from things. I am realizing that I wish that the POVs had stayed women throughout since we have a lot of things that were about the abuse, rape, murder, and assault of women. And honestly, the character of Alice was out of her head. I […]
Breaking The Dark by Lisa Jewell
This is apparently the first in a series of Marvel adult crime thrillers. I was just glad to spend some time picturing Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones again. Bring her back Marvel! In true Jessica Jones fashion, our friend is not doing so great. She spends her days fighting a killer hangover and solving crimes in New York City, One morning a wealthy mother comes to her door asking for Jessica’s help. She’s convinced something strange happened to her teenage twins when they were visiting […]
None of This is True by Lisa Jewell
Call me basic, but I love me a good psychological thriller. Trying to guess what’s going to happen, the truth behind the misdirection, the twists, figuring out whether a narrator is reliable or not… They’re just fun. Lisa Jewell is a prolific writer, with over 20 published works. I’ve read a few of her books and enjoyed every one, including this latest. None of This Is True is fun, a gripping story about a podcaster who finds herself in the middle of her own true-crime […]
None of This is True by Lisa Jewell
I will lead off with the caveats that I do not usually like this type of book, and I also found the bells and whistles added to the audiobook largely distracting. With that said, None of This is True is a story of two women with very different lives, and the randomness that brings them into each other’s lives. Podcaster Alix Summer is out celebrating her 45th birthday when she is approached by Josie Fair, who is also celebrating her own 45th birthday. Casual […]
None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
So…I don’t 100% know how I feel about this book. Not because it’s poorly written, its mainly a personal preference of the use of unreliable narration. Lisa Jewell has crafted an excellent story here that was deeply enthralling, the only issue I had was with the ending, and it goes back to the unreliable narration. The story is set in England and follows two women, Alix Summers and Josie Fair, who meet at a pub while out celebrating their birthdays and discover that they are […]
