I was going along, getting interested in the story then BAM triggered. Please read the content warnings before you read this book .
I'm so glad I waited for the audiobook!!!! Amazing production the story was great, very eerie, and you don't know who's telling the truth ever!!

This book was really enjoyable for me but the ending was just a bit of a letdown for me.
Also Alix Summers was really weird cause all of the signs of Josie not being mentally stable was there and she still willingly put herself and her family in danger.
I think I got the concept backwards before starting the book, so I was a bit disappointed. But it's definitely one of those books you can't put down once you get started. The writing style was a bit jarring, but I got used to it. I think the ending was clever, because you have a very unreliable narrator who could have been influenced by something that happened moments earlier.
Woah. I didn't know who/what to believe throughout the whole book. I did not want to put it down!
this was a disturbing concept and the twists definietly added to that it was missing an oomph factor, and if it had that i would have LOVED this but it didn't. i still overall had a good time reading this book and the ending was shocking with the escalation of it all. the audiobook i will say is phenomenal and i highly recommend that format of consuming this story.
I listened to this book and I'm glad I did. Part of the [fictional] story involves a podcast in which the narration included interviews from the podcast. Good narration and a story which keeps you guessing.
I'm giving this 4 and a half stars because I don't know what to think of the ending. This book had me hooked from the first sentence and took me less than half a day to get through. Absolutely thrilling and mind blowing. My only disappointment is the ending.
If you're reading for a book club, then you can skip the book and gaslight the group by saying, “None of it is true” over and over again
Jewell is a master of narrative suspense and engagement. I've come around to loving a good unreliable narrator.
ending COMPLETELY ruined it jewell wants us to think that a 14 year old girl is capable of manipulating a 41 year old man with a WIFE AND KIDS to LEAVE his wife and kids and get with her, sleep with her, marry her, have kids with her, and stay with her. no lol . i understand that it was supposed to be a reveal that josie is a lying shit head but this is just impossible. also all of the characters acting like “what? walter wasnt a pedophile” YES. HE. IS. HE WAS NOT MANIPULATED ITS FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE HES A PEDO AND A RAPIST AND IM TIRED OF THIS SHIT
id skip this one
A must-listen!! I was locked in from the very beginning. I could not stop listening until the end!
Thrills, chills, twists and turns expertly delivered on all counts. This book is dark as pitch but oh so very good.
5 Stars!
Odd, thrilling, and dark.
I always needed to know more. It had me guessing what was happening, and what could possibly be coming. So many characters, who was telling the truth, who was lying.
I liked the format, of interviews, headlines, and podcast recordings. It was a nice break throughout the book from regular chapters.
Highly recommend this addictive thriller.
Pretty interesting plot line, quick and easy read about a lady that starts a podcast with a seemingly normal lady which inadvertently turns into a true crime podcast.
Read this book immediately. It is one hundred percent worth the hype as it currently perches at #8 on the NYTIMES Bestseller List. Lisa Jewell has outdone herself with this one. I spent the hurricane reading this one. I even read by candlelight because we lost power during Idalia. It was unputdownable. Best to go in knowing little to nothing about it. I'll leave it at that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
This was fine, I guess. With the podcast format, all of the action in this book is narrated by someone, and, for me, that prevented the build-up of any suspense.
Was enjoyable but I think was too long. Some of the beginning parts were boring and could have been cut while the end felt anticlimactic and rushed. Liked the podcast and documentary element though! Would like to see this in a tv miniseries.
