Eerie vibes, a case of amnesia, a boy desperate to right his wrongs, and some Nancy Drew detective work. 

 

Mary can’t remember who she is, where she came from, or how she woke up bloodied up in a ditch. Fortunately her dad shows up breathless and disheveled to the police station after trying to find her for hours. Only time will tell when her memories come back, right? 

 

Drew’s entire town is against him when no trace of his missing girlfriend, Lola, turn up after five weeks. Determined to find her—alive—Drew starts his own investigation to bring her home. 

 

That’s Not My Name is a quick, YA thriller. The author does a great job making you feel how truly uncomfortable Mary is without her memory. Drew’s chapters dragged on a bit in the beginning, but picked up when he set off on his own to find Lola. I was mostly blindsided by a few things until right before they happened, which is always fun. Great if you love a mystery!
