Great suspenseful book! It does see the mystery to the end without a cliff hanger. I highly recommend for crime/suspense lovers.

Did not realize this was YA until about 40% in but it was gripping nonetheless. If you're on Kindle, do not look at the chapter titles. It won't ruin it for you but I wish I didn't. Very interesting concept, I thought it was going in a total different direction.

Good momentum with an interesting twist!

Not the most thrilling book I’ve read, but definitely a good one.

Eerie vibes, a case of amnesia, a boy desperate to right his wrongs, and some Nancy Drew detective work. 

 

Mary can’t remember who she is, where she came from, or how she woke up bloodied up in a ditch. Fortunately her dad shows up breathless and disheveled to the police station after trying to find her for hours. Only time will tell when her memories come back, right? 

 

Drew’s entire town is against him when no trace of his missing girlfriend, Lola, turn up after five weeks. Determined to find her—alive—Drew starts his own investigation to bring her home. 

 

That’s Not My Name is a quick, YA thriller. The author does a great job making you feel how truly uncomfortable Mary is without her memory. Drew’s chapters dragged on a bit in the beginning, but picked up when he set off on his own to find Lola. I was mostly blindsided by a few things until right before they happened, which is always fun. Great if you love a mystery!

I thought I knew the pot the entire time and I was pleasantly surprised. I felt like it was a slow start but became a page turner towards the end.

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.
