That's Not My Name

An instant 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.

Suspense, funny, sad. Not what I was expecting at the end so it had a good twist.

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.

I thought this was a very consumable YA thriller with a slow start but a twist that paid off. While some early predictability had me a little bored the finale and emotional epilogue make up for it—just keep tissues handy. The real crime? The inept sheriff who bungles the case yet gets praised like a hero. A solid read but don’t expect justice for the terrible policing.
