Based on a True Story (a smash hit in France already) is the memoir-style story of a writer’s toxic female friendship. It begins with a titillating Prologue and continues with a creepy, Single White Female vibe that left me dying to know how things would play out. It’s incredibly emotionally tense and de Vigan’s gorgeous writing helps (4.5) I am in awe of what Delphine de Vigan has created in Nothing Holds Back the Night. It is the sister to her superb Based on a True Story, and it strikes me that the books mirror each other in interesting ways. Based on a True Story is a philosophical rumination on the craft of writing dressed up as a story of suspense. Based on a True Story Vigan, Delphine De. 8,922 ratings by Goodreads.
