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!!

It's a YA book that takes place in, presumably, 2024ish, but the seventeen-year-olds sound like elder Millennials lol

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.

It's a good book if you like murder mysteries but if you can't do any/some violence this book is not for you. (I read the audiobook)

This was marketed as a ‘young adult’ thriller, but it felt just as readable for anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers. 

I found this to be a very quick read, which was exactly what I was looking for. The story was full of suspense and perhaps I’m an idiot, but I didn’t see the twist at the end coming. I was shocked reading those 3 words from Drew. 

The only character I didn’t like was the Sheriff, I was disappointed he didn’t get a well deserved kick up the a**. I’ve probably watched too many True Crime documentaries with corrupt or negligent police. 

A good book for a reading slump but possibly the wrong book for any paranoid parents.
