Week 18 Review: That's Not My Name

From Goodreads:

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

A gripping debut thriller perfect for fans of Natalie D. Richards and Vincent Ralph.

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 are both are in.

My Review:
This was such a fantastic read! The synopsis had me hooked, I wanted to know what was going on with her, whether her name was Mary or Lola or something else was going on, I had to know! I couldn't get enough of this story!

I really enjoyed following both "Mary" and Drew's perspectives. Mary not knowing what was going on, but that something was off with the man telling her to call him dad. Drew, because he's looking for Lola, and I had such a great time following the both of them, putting the pieces together.

A big question connected to which girl she was, was what happened to either Lola to become Mary, or Lola and Mary, because either both of the one did go through. something violent, and I wanted to know what and who did it to her, because it had to be a who.

Wow, but the way things came together and the secrets were revealed and questions was answered, yeah, that was so fantastic! It was so well done and pretty gruesome and thrilling to read, because that ending did not come easy, but I loved where it left us!

Loved reading this book and I'd love to read more by Megan Lally!
