None Of This Is True

[Kristie]

Bella - You wrote your comment in reply to Elyse's comment and her end of book spoiler was open. So you didn't write a spoiler, but her spoiler was open in your comment. It happens some times, so we need to check for it. It's a weird glitch that Goodreads has. I can't edit comments, so I had to delete it.

If you want to try to post a spoiler tag, try this. Copy and paste the following, then remove the two periods. I added those so you can see the code.

<.spoiler> type what you want to hide here <./spoiler>

Do you use the app or go online? Spoiler tags don't really work on the app. You can create them, but not view them.

When you Reply or Respond to someone else's comment that has a spoiler, it will open it when it is part of the repeated text I think.
I have had that happen to me as well when I didn't write anything spoilery, but was responding to something someone has written.

Sometimes, I just type the person's name and my comment instead of hitting the reply button, so I don't risk opening an unintended spoiler.

[Elyse]

On Android, they're all completely unhidden. Funny that iOS keeps them completely hidden.

[Kristie]

Yes, the apps are weird, Elyse. Loads of problems with them.

Vicki - I've definitely had it happen before too. It's so frustrating. I wish they'd fix that. I've learned to check before I post. If the spoiler is showing, I just delete that bit like I did in my response to Bella. I just left the ... in its place. Sometimes I will substitute a [spoilers removed] in it's place as well.

[Elyse]

Yeah I just change it to [spoilers removed]

Wow didn't know this. I need a tutorial. I am so new here.

[Kristie]

No worries, Bella! There are a lot of little quirks, but you'll get it. Did you see my post above about how to post a spoiler? You should give it a try. It is easier to figure it all out online. The apps are pretty glitchy.

I am at 20% (view spoiler)[Jewell is doing a great job dropping hints of wrongness everywhere! What on earth is going on with Josie's at-home daughter? I understand not wanting to venture into your teenager's/young adult's room but why does she have to eat blended food? The school secretary mentioned that Erin had her arm broken when she was in school and maybe it was Roxy?
And I know that Josie said right away that her husband was older but a 45 year old with a 15 year old? That's not ok.
I love the Netflix tidbits that get dropped into the story - so we know there is some killing gonna happen at some point (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki Willis]

78%
(view spoiler)[ this one is so intense bc the title telling me none of this is true so what is going on!?
Walter and Erin are dead. Nathan is missing.
I dont know why Alix didnt call the cops right away. And how many chances does this guy get?

I have no idea how this is ending (hide spoiler)]

No where can I find it?

Original comment is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... Do you usually check in on the app or online? The app is pretty glitchy and cuts off comments. Depending on your device there are different issues. Linked the code again below.

Copy and paste the following, then remove the two periods. I added those so you can see the code.

(view spoiler)[ Yes I am mad with Alix not calling the cops because I love Nathan and why would Nathan get in the car with that woman (hide spoiler)]

[Kristie]

Bella, I deleted your replies above because the other people's spoilers were open again. I copied and pasted your whole response into the new comments above, so nothing is left out. I just put the whole thing behind a spoiler. When you reply to someone, you need to make sure their spoilers aren't open in your comments. Your comments were hidden, but theirs weren't.

[Katrisa]

I just finished part 1. (view spoiler)[Josie's obsession with Alix is growing creepier. This is why you don't have your recording studio at your home, lol! Alix's neighbor says that Erin didn't eat solid food when she was in school either. So weird! It does kind of seem like Josie is sort of frozen as an adolescent in some of her behaviors (hide spoiler)]
I am mad that I can't just sit all day and read this! But I have a ton to do for back to school - my prep week is next week. I have to go do some errands so I'll be switching to my audiobooks for a minute but dang I want to finish this one!

[Vicki Willis]

LOVED it.
I hope I never meet my birthday twin.
What a book this was!

(view spoiler)[ That was so twisted. I didn't see any of the coming.
I was surprised about Nathan being killed, but I think it went with the uncomfortable-ness of the book.

There was so much that was uncomfortable about it.

The romance between Walter and Josie. And then finding out she "stole" him from her mother. Just cringey all around.
But then she almost made Walter likable because of his father relationship with his daughter with disabilities. Such a paradox!

Nathan's death. I mean he was awful to his wife and kids by doing what he did with the disappearing. But then we find out later, it is due to a trauma(s) earlier in life. Really hard to change those kind of behaviors later in life. And how he could be the breadwinner like that and not have life insurance for his family in case something happened to him!?

The whole Brooke thing. Did she or didn't she? Who was it? Can we be sure at all?

And leaving Josie "out there" in the ending. Evil thinking!
I wouldn't be able to rest EVER if I were Alix.
(hide spoiler)]

I am so glad I gave this one a shot. I almost didn't because Lisa Jewel has usually just been a "good" read for me. I have rated most of hers 3 stars. But I would have been missing out if I didn't read this one!

[Elyse]

I also thought it was better than any of other her books I've read!

[Katrisa]

I finished and this had been one of my fav thrillers this year. (view spoiler)[ The way the book was structured was so good for making me not want to put it down! Jewell does such a great job just making the whole story feel off/wrong. I still wonder if Brooke was killed by Josie or Roxy. I keep going over and over the different versions and wondering which is true! That is what makes it a 5 star read! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I could not agree more and definitely Josie did it but then again, I don't know. I did feel as though Erin got off. Was that her name? The one who lured him out? (hide spoiler)]

She is an amazing writer

[Kristie]

I did finally get this one. I may get to it soon. I'll come back and post my thoughts later if I do.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

Excited to hear what you think Kristie!

[Bella]

I loved this one!

Yay! Hope you enjoy it.

[Kristie]

I finally finished and I thought it was great. I haven't written my review yet, but (view spoiler)[ I loved how she made the characters so multifaceted. They could have some horrible characteristics and then some other parts that you could admire them for. Such good writing. (hide spoiler)]

[Tasha]

I really enjoyed this one as well! I did this one on audio and loved the production. I love LJ and she always writes the most interesting characters and keeps you so engaged in the story. 4.5 stars

Great summary as it did get a bit confusing at the end. Great twists though!

Fun!!

[Tasha]

Bella, this whole spoiler thing just happened to me too. I went back to check my comment (msg 83) and the comment I was responding to from Trisha had the spoiler comment open so I quickly fixed it. Just letting you know it happens to seasoned posters as well! lol. I always make a point to go back and check my comments and it really helps catch these things, as well as many typos. ;)

I agree, she is a go-to author for me.

My review

[Tasha]

I liked this one more than The Girls in the Garden too, Elyse. And I understand your point in the spoiler about an event in the book. She is a go-to author for me, hope you get a chance to read more of her stuff. BTW, you are kicking a$$ in reviews, so many I'm impressed!

Yes, I'm definitely hoping to get to more of her books this year. I own a handful in some format or another, I just need to read them! lol

[Tasha]

great :) I hope you enjoy them
