A page-turner to say the least. Lola, a 17 year old that ends up missing from small town, Washington City. Her boyfriend, Drew, is the main and only suspect. However, he KNOWs he didn't do anything to hurt her. So, to prove his innocence he begins looking into her disappearance. It turns out to be more than he bargained for, and twisty turns that are expected, but not what you would think!

A fast-paced YA thriller. I found it to be pretty predictable (which is saying something for me becuase I usually never guess the twists or endings).

That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally 

I didn’t think I would enjoy this as much as I did! I stayed up until 1am to finish it. Total page turner. Told in dual perspectives. The suspense was executed so well. I went into this one blindly and I’m glad I did. Fast paced. Engaging. Intense. Emotional. Captivating. Easy read. I did not guess the ending at all. In fact, I was very wrong. This is a book you can totally finish in one day. 

Amazing debut from the author! 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
