WHAT. THE. HELL.

Amazing YA thriller, got me hooked right from the start. I loved the plot of the book, and the characters. Drew stood out to me the most because of how determined he was to find his girlfriend. I honestly kind of suspected the plot twist because of how

Lola and Madison's timelines didn't match up, but I thought they were the same person all along right up until the third quarter of the book

That still made it a very good read and

Ben Hooper's story is a twisted thing

The only reason this wasn't a 5 star read because of how unrealistic some of the scenes would be. But SUCH an awesome read for people who love thrillers and suspense.

I loved this book SO MUCH! I cried, I screamed, I squealed, and almost threw up. I also squeaked really loudly in the middle of the night when I read the part about

Ben Hooper's death

. I have suggested it to all of my friends, it was so good and I loved the twist at the end!!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, enjoying the process of slowly piecing together clues as to what I think is going to happen. I don’t remember being so captivated by a book like this.

The voice actors of the audiobook did such a great job, too. 10/10

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.
