YA thrillers are my jam lately! THAT’S NOT MY NAME was first put on my radar by my favorite Independent Bookstore…Beach Books.

I knew very little about the premise going into this one and trusted my reader friends with the recommendation! They did not disappoint. This was a fast paced, heart pounding mystery that I thought for sure I knew how it would go… but then… BAM 💥 My jaw drop!

With an eerie PNW atmosphere, dual perspectives, the anticipation throughout was unreal! Emotional and one that will leave you guessing to the end… I will be keeping my eye out for Megan Lally’s next novel!

Thank you Netgalley & Sourcebooks Fire for this gifted ALC

Loved this YA read! Girl goes missing, boy dedicates himself to finding her. Lola has disappeared after last being seen with her boyfriend. While somewhere else a girl named Sarah is waking up with amnesia. Definitely kept my attention

Thank you to NetGalley, Megan Lally and RB Media for an audio arc of That's Not My Name

This one has been on my TBR for a while, so I was super excited to receive an early audio copy!

This story focuses on the disappearance of Lola and her boyfriend's (Drew) and friends' neverending search to find out what happened to her. Meanwhile, 2.5 hours away. a teen is found walking along the road with bloodied clothing & no memory of anything - not even her name. She is taken in by the local police when her father walks in and claims her as his daughter, Mary Boone. After providing identifying documentation, Mary is released to go home with her father.

Told from dual POVs of Mary and Drew, this story gets increasingly tense as "Mary" starts to believe she might not actually be Mary and as Drew gets closer to finding Lola, it gets super intense!

I did kinda figure out the twist before the end - more the "what" of the twist. This was extremely fast-paced and I listened to it all in one sitting this morning. The story was very atmospheric & enthralling.

Solid 4-Star read that I would recommend to any thriller/suspense lover!

I didn’t notice that this was categorized as YA when I requested this, and I missed it because I probably wouldn’t have requested it. This was a good story. I enjoyed getting to know the characters. The character development was great. I felt invested in know what was going to happen next. Some of the twists I saw coming, some I thought I’d predicted and I was wrong! I really enjoyed the audio on this one too.
