The writing in That’s Not My Name leans heavily into YA territory, which might not work for every reader, but the dual-timeline plot is really compelling. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, the twist at the end completely blindsided & destroyed me.

Generally this would have been a strong 3.75 stars but that plot twist added some extra to it, I really did not see that coming.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Honestly what a great debut novel. Thrilling mysterious and a little sad. I read this super quickly and was invested in Mary's loss of memory and Drew's search for Lola.
Check trigger/content warnings.
Will read more from this author in the future.
