That's Not My Name

Ending is sad but from start to finish the book holds your 100% attention. Loved it. This is my first read by Megan Lally and I loved her writing.

It’s a good book. The storyline was good and twist in the end sad but it made the book well written.

Loved the condition

Nice twist but then that’s all that there is, a little less genuine than my liking , otherwise a good read

Megan will give spoilers and clue throughout the story, but you won’t be able to figure out what is about to happen.

Wow..what did I read!! I read rave reviews of this book and added it to my list. What a rollercoaster ride it was!! A great thriller with a twist I did not see coming!! Highly recommended

I loved the ending, Madison not being Lola and Lola being dead added the grip to this thrilling story finale. Never judge too soon. Cause at first I thought it would be Lola, the Madison girl. And I didn’t like that. But it turned out to be not Lola so, I by then had started to not like this book. But Thank God I made it to the end to find out the ending I wanted. Loved it!

A must read I would say. One of the best books I have read in a while. You think you know everything and damn!

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!!

The book is written for young adults/ teenagers. Interesting but the plot was underwhelming.

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ That’s Not My Name by Megan Nally is a gripping read that had me on the edge of my seat. This story wastes no time pulling you in with its fast-paced plot and emotional stakes. Drew, the main male lead, is determined and dedicated in his commitment to finding Lola. It is the main driving force behind the novel. With the help of his loyal friends, Autumn and Max, Drew embarks on a tense, emotionally-charged journey that kept me turning the pages. Their bond and determination to uncover the truth add real heart and emotion to the suspense. Megan Nally has written a thrilling and engaging mystery that is full of twists, emotion, and urgency. If you love a book that grips you and doesn’t let go, this one’s for you.

I don’t read much YA but I had seen lots of good reviews for this one, and I was not disappointed. There’s dual POV. There one from Drew and one from Mary. The disappearance of Lola shook everyone, but Drew has so much guilt. Not only does he think it’s his fault but everyone thinks it’s his fault. Her parents. His classmates. His friends. He’s the only still trying to find out where she is. In another county, a girl wakes up in a ditch and has no memories of why she is there or who she is. Luckily, a police office finds her and shortly after, her dad comes to the police stations looking for her. He says that she’s Mary but it doesn’t seem right to her. But he has proof that it’s her. Maybe it’s just because she has amnesia? She finally goes with the stranger after the police officer made a check around the property and verified more proof that she’s in fact Mary. Is Drew going to find Lola again? How far is he willing to go to find her? Is Mary going to remember who she is and why she was in the ditch? This thriller was great! I recommend even if YA is not your usual go-to!
