That's Not My Name: A Pulse-Pounding YA Thriller of Secrets, Lies, and Betrayal

At first it felt like another "typical" thriller, but it quickly led me through many twists and unpredictable turns. Once I got going, I couldn't put it down. It's a great read with a fast-paced, high stakes plot. Ideal for readers who like: ❄️ Readers who enjoy fast-paced, suspenseful plots ❄️ Cat-and-mouse tension ❄️ Psychological thrillers with high stakes and twists

All stories should leave you with an experienced to remember. This book was a page turner. This book invoked frustration, suspense and even relief. It was a sad ending, but a perfect ending. I would recommend this book.

Great read! Suspenseful, keeps you on the edge of your seat, intense with plenty of surprises, ends with a twist.

The book itself was very good, the writing and the tension as this guy works to find his girlfriend. My biggest problem with the book is the ending. I won't spoil, but it is made just to upset the reader. I feel as though the ending serves no purpose to the plot and is just there to make the reader sad.

I loved the storytelling in this book. It was suspenseful, atmospheric, and had me constantly questioning what was really going on. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, the ending completely surprised me and left me unexpectedly emotional. The only reason it's not a full five stars is that I wanted just a little bit more, but overall it was such a gripping read. If you're a true crime podcast junkie or love thrillers with unexpected twists, I definitely recommend picking this one up.

I love the way this was written. It kept me interested. It wasn't so easy to peice together and guess the ending. Complete shocker of an ending. Definitely worth a quick read

This was my first experience reading a work by this author, so I was unfamiliar with her writing style. I was pleasantly surprised, as the story was expertly crafted. The unexpected twist and the poignant ending caught me off guard but overall, it's a fantastic read. The narrative follows a teenage girl who awakens with amnesia on a dirt road, while simultaneously, a teenage boy is on a quest to locate his missing girlfriend.

As the danger escalates, every chapter delivers a gripping twist. The pace feels just like a movie, building to an intense finish that leaves you scared and desperate for what's next !

Just finished "that's not my name" by Megan Lally. Here's what I thought of this book. First off all, it was hyped up on a Facebook group where people said this was an absolute 5 star read, after reading I get why they said it, but it's not a 5 star for me. That's not my name all but suggest what the book is about now doesn't it. We have a teen girl named Lola missing, we have a girl that can't remember a thing, found, and a boy named Drew who has been pointed out as a suspect in the disappearance of Lola. A girl in a ditch wakes up but doesn't remember how she got there, and why does everything hurt so much? She has to move, a feeling of dread has her somewhat alert. After walking for a bit, a police cruiser passes and stops. At the police station she can't tell much, she just doesn't know. She doesn't even remember her name. That's when they hear a knock on the door.. "thank god! You found her! You found my Mary" The man, named Wayne claims he is the father of this girl, Mary? So.. That's her name? The police has been right to be hesitant, but after showing her birth certificate and documents he places her in his care. But, was that the right choice? Is Mary really, Mary? Lola has been missing for 5 weeks now, there is no sign of her, it's like she vanished into thin air. Drew, her boyfriend has been the main suspect and the sheriff is closing in. Drew on the other hand, has been spending all his money on printing fliers, missing person fliers. He's the only one that doesn't give up. She has to be somewhere, right? After a bit of investigating with Max and Autumn they have a lead, only no one seems to listen. So they chose to check it out themselves. What will they find? That's for you to find out. 4 star read! The end had my heart in pieces.

It was great!!

If you’re reading this book as an adult and you’re worried about the YA rating, don’t let that scare you away! I read this book in one sitting (it’s currently 3am lol) and maybe it’s just because it’s dark out but I definitely found myself feeling creeped out at some parts! Don’t get me wrong, the main characters are definitely the usual recipe of a typical YA teenager, but it didn’t take away from the tension and urgency in the storyline. -0.5 for the predictability because yeah, I saw the ending from a mile away, BUT I did find myself rooting for the main characters and my heart still hurt when the story came to an end. Perhaps if I wasn’t an avid reader or an adult, maybe the ending would be less predictable? I’m also a little bit sad with how it ended because I was rooting for them so hard! If you’re looking for a fast paced read with emotion and heart-racing content, I recommend!

"Get in, losers, we're going sleuthing" I absolutely loved reading this, just wanted to know what happens and kept reading, wasn't quite sure how I felt about the ending, and some loose ends left Picked this up on kindle for $1.99 Theme: thriller mystery type Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Libro gradevole, scorre in fretta. Il plot twist finale nobn è così inaspettato o triste come invece dicono le altre recensioni. Io sono abituata ai libri di Freida MacFadden perciò non ho dato per scontato alcune cose e non sono rimasta sorpresa dal finale. E' comunque un libro godibile.
