That's Not My Name
A New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!
She thought she had her life back. She was wrong. A gripping debut thriller perfect for fans of Natalie D. Richards and Vincent Ralph.
It was a mistake to trust him.
Shivering and bruised, a teen wakes up on the side of a dirt road with no memory of how she got there--or who she is. A passing officer takes her to the police station, and not long after, a frantic man arrives. He's been searching for her for hours. He has her school ID, her birth certificate, and even family photos.
He is her father. Her name is Mary. Or so he says.
When Lola slammed the car door and stormed off into the night, Drew thought they just needed some time to cool off. Except Lola disappeared, and the sheriff, his friends, and the whole town are convinced Drew murdered his girlfriend. Forget proving his innocence, he needs to find her before it's too late. The longer Lola is missing, the fewer leads there are to follow...and the more danger they both are in.

This was a quick, entertaining read that kept me guessing. There were definitely moments where the writing and certain characters made me roll my eyes a bit, but the mystery was strong enough that I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened. Some parts felt more realistic and engaging than others, but overall I enjoyed the experience and appreciated that the book was able to surprise me.
I normally don't care for YA books, but Megan Lally has changed my mind with this book. I was gripped the entire time. I even teared up at the end. I only wish it was a tad longer, to give more explanation about the chain of events. Otherwise, I was thoroughly impressed with this one and can't wait to read more by Megan Lally.
All I’ll say about That’s Not My Name is that I didn’t realize it was a young adult novel when I picked it up. I went in expecting darker or more graphic elements, but instead got a quick, easy, and lighthearted read than the usual. While it’s not exactly my style, I can’t complain—it does what it’s supposed to as a YA book.
If you’re into not so disturbing plot lines, this one will probably hit the mark for you. For me, it was just a little detour from my usual reads.
