That's Not My Name by Megan Lally

That's Not My Name by Megan Lally

Shivering and bruised, a teen wakes up on the side of a dirt road with no memory of how she got there―or who she is. A passing officer takes her to the police station, and not long after, a frantic man arrives. He's been searching for her for hours. He has her school ID, her birth certificate, and even family photos.

He is her father. Her name is Mary. Or so he says.

When Lola slammed the car door and stormed off into the night, Drew thought they just needed some time to cool off. Except Lola disappeared, and the sheriff, his friends, and the whole town are convinced Drew murdered his girlfriend. Forget proving his innocence, he needs to find her before it's too late. The longer Lola is missing, the fewer leads there are to follow…and the more danger they both are in.

A duet narration novel, taken from the sides of 'Mary Boone' and Drew; two teens who are both looking for answers for those closest to them. So heads up if you hate jumping between characters after a few chapters, this may not be the book for you.

I had called the base layer of the ending about a couple chapters in, but not down to the exact details (maybe you can do better than I did?); and when I got to the twist I burst out of my shared office and demanded my coworker listen to my rant of what just happened.

Personally, I didn't hate the book; I wouldn't say it hit my top twenty by any means, but I would definitely suggest it to someone if they had time to kill and were interested in a fairly quick thriller.

I'd personally rank this:
Two and a half Creepy Murder Cabins out of five. (2.5/5)
