That’s Not My Name – Book Review

She thought she had her life back. She was wrong. It was a mistake to trust him.

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.

This was actually really a good thriller.

A girl wakes up at the side of the road with no recollection of who she was. A police officer finds her and takes her to the station, then the man named Wayne comes into the station, claiming to be the girl’s father and the girl’s name was Mary Boone. The girl returns to Wayne’s home but as she stays in the home, her memory starts coming back, realizing that she is not Mary and someone else…

Drew was the last person to see his girlfriend Lola Scott alive. Lola Scott never returned home and she mysteriously disappeared. Everyone in the town suspected that Drew has something to do with her disappearance and Drew was determined to prove his innocent by finding Lola before it is too late.

This was a fast paced, page turning thriller. You have the POVs of Drew, who is determined to find Lola and a girl named Mary who might not really be Mary. The whole story was quite unputdownable, and I like how Drew’s friends, who believed him, helped him with sleuthing to help find Lola. The writing was very well done and the story overall was very engaging. The twist at the end was completely unexpected which made the whole story as a whole a great book to read. Overall, I actually liked this book and cannot wait to read more from this author. Worth five stars.
