I really wanted to enjoy, love, and eat up That's Not my Name. When I went into the story I did not realize it was told from duel points of view but I don't think that is what turned me off from the story. Like most duel point of view stories when one part is getting good, suspenseful, or addicting it jumped to another point of view.
Mary is a bit clueless for a seventeen year old even though she is a child she is close to being an adult and has to learn to advocate for herself some. That never really happened she just kept hiding her discomfort and trying not to upset her father. even seem to take time off of their jobs to help him cope with Lola disappearing.
Drew seemed hard to believe. I liked how his father's were worried about him but other then that they did not press him to get therapy or
I figured out the mystery early on like in the first 40 pages. I kept hoping for some big revelation about what was going on but it was pretty predicable not sure if this was due to it being young adult or if the mystery was that easy to figure out.
Since I could not sleep last night I did read the sample for Mrs. Lally's next work and it sounded okay. Same writing style but maybe the mystery will appeal to me more. For me That's Not My Name was just an average book.
I uss to post book trailer with my reviews but those seem to be less popular since everyone does a tictok now. However I did find an official audio book trailer for That's Not My Name.
