the plot twist in this book, oh my goodness!!! i was hooked from the beginning!! the setting was eery, the two pov’s had me guessing the whole time and the reluctance of the police to focus on other suspects really made this book so intriguing!!

I loved this book SO MUCH! I cried, I screamed, I squealed, and almost threw up. I also squeaked really loudly in the middle of the night when I read the part about

Ben Hooper's death

. I have suggested it to all of my friends, it was so good and I loved the twist at the end!!!

The twist was pretty obvious but it was still really interesting and I had a great time reading. I’ve been in a slump for a few months absolutely has gotten me out of it!

That’s Not My Name is a great book. I really enjoyed it as it kept me on my toes and wanting to read more. I think this book is a solid 4.5/5 because of the way it keeps you reading, and I like how the chapters are in the perspective of two people. This is a must-read for people who enjoy scary books that are also about characters going on a challenging journey to find out the truth about something.
