Hi everyone! I've just finished this book. Looking forward to hear your opinions.I missed Lisa Jewell's books, so far there hasn't been one of hers that I disliked.
I gave this one 4 stars. It was an enjoyable read with a lot of mystery.
I didn't like the ending so much though.
Just starting this. So far every book I’ve read by Lisa Jewell has been terrific. Hoping that this one’s just as good 😊
in the first 30 pgs or so, I thought that I knew where the story was headed and that it was something I had read before. But around the 50 pg mark, the story went in a very different and unexpected direction. It certainly got my complete attention and I had a very hard time breaking away to do other things.
My copy just arrived.
I have a copy but I still have to read it. Is it really suspenseful?
I thought it was very suspenseful, a good mystery
Really enjoyed this. Lots of interesting characters
Read this book about a month ago and loved it. 5 stars from me. Looking forward to everyone’s views. It’s the pick this month in my friends book club : )
My copy just arrived. Looking forward to reading it.
This was a great read! The story and characters were both so interesting and intriguing. Lisa Jewell is an auto buy for me!
The Audible was AMAZING. Like a full on movie production level and it sounded like I was listening to an actual true crime podcast! That's the best Audible book I've ever heard.

Gosh that's great. Wish I had listened to it.
The story line is an interesting one for sure. I wanted to know what was going to happen.
I'm listening to it now, per your recommendation. It's great!
Great audible book. Great story, great characters especially Josie and Alix. It started great and then got very twisty turny. Lies, truths, abuse, manipulations and more questions???The bottom line after all the lies, truths (?) and crazy behaviors is that Josie murdered Nathan and tore Alix's life apart. She will be caught one day because she's to dumb to hide forever.
I love Lisa Jewell!! But this one and The Night She Disappeared were my least favorite & I’ve read her entire collection. I’d give this one 2.5/5 stars

Summary
Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summers crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins.
A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie has been listening to Alix’s podcasts and thinks she might be an interesting subject for her series. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life.
Josie’s life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can’t quite resist the temptation to keep making the podcast. Slowly she starts to realise that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it, Josie has inveigled her way into Alix’s life—and into her home.
But, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. Only then does Alix discover that Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and that Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her family’s lives under mortal threat.
Who is Josie Fair? And what has she done?
