That's Not My Name by Megan Lally
4.0

That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally is a suspenseful young adult debut thriller. I was totally engaged in this story from the beginning to the end. I loved that there is an epilogue at the end that is heartfelt and emotional. While this book is considered YA, I think adults who enjoy mystery and thrillers will enjoy this book as well.

This book is told in dual POV and has a female (Sophie Amoss) and male narrator (Robb Moreira). The book deals with high school students and the narrator’s voices matched perfectly to the characters. I would be interested in listening to more audiobooks by these narrators.

I really enjoyed the plot in this story. It is about a girl who wakes up on the side of the road and can’t remember how she got there or who she is. She is taken to the police station by an officer who finds her on the side of the road. A man also shows up at the police station and says he is her dad. He is able to provide all the documents to prove she is his daughter Mary.

In a town nearby, Drew is looking for his girlfriend Lola. He is a suspect in her disappearance and he will do everything he can to find her.

It was interesting to listen to Mary’s perspective and see glimpses of memories coming back to her and her trying to piece things together.

This audiobook will be released on December 26, 2023.

I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future. Thank you NetGalley and RB Media for an advanced copy of this audiobook. I voluntarily listened to it and gave an honest review!
