Not Myself Today Review:
This was an amazing story and exactly the kind of young adult thriller I love to read.
The book starts off so well where you don’t know what is wrong with Lindsey. The author had me glued to the pages as so many things happen in parallel. I was at the edge of my seat as Lindsey tries to get her life in track. On one hand she is trying to convince people who she is and adjust to her new life, and on the other hand, she is chased by pimps like Tony and Dante.
Moreover, I loved Lindsey’s friendship with Rachel. Rachel and Justin (and even Dr. Hopkins) are wonderful as they believe in Lindsey and support her. Rachel is adorable and lightens the story with her humorous personality. One of my favorite scenes is the road trip they take to see Annabeth’s family. I also liked the scenes where Lindsey tries to convince her father of who she is. Although the plot is unbelievable, the author writes it in such a compelling manner that you wonder if it could happen.
The author also highlighted a very important issue of child trafficking. Although told in a light-hearted manner, I like how the story concludes highlighting its importance. This book has a little bit of everything which makes is very entertaining. Moreover, the story also ends in a big cliffhanger which I did not expect. I hope the author releases a sequel as I would love to see how it continues.
Overall, Not Myself Today was a lot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
