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)

I love how this book is separated into chapters in both the "girl's" perspective as well as Drew's. This book had me going through a range of emotions. Anxious, sad, heartbroken, hopeful.... It was really well written! 
Drew, as the boyfriend of the missing girl, unfortunately has been the point of blame for the town and the sheriff. The girl with no memory is learning more about herself as experiences give her clues as to who she is before her "accident." The balance between their two perspectives really helps shape this story piece by piece!
