THAT’S NOT MY NAME de Megan Lally

A twisty, fast-paced dual-POV narrative about a teen with no memory who must unravel the truth of who she is, and the boyfriend who is determined to find his missing girlfriend and clear his name.

THAT’S NOT MY NAME
by Megan Lally
Sourcebooks Fire, December 2023

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. The longer Lola is missing, the fewer leads there are to follow…and the more danger they both are in.

Megan Lally is a professional book coach who loves writing all things creepy and twisted. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family. THAT’S NOT MY NAME is her debut.
