Olivia was only three years old when her mother was killed and everyone suspected her father of murder. But his whereabouts remained a mystery. Fast forward fourteen years. New evidence now proves Olivia's father was actually murdered on the same fateful day her mother died. That means there's a killer still at large. Now Olivia is determined to uncover who that might be. But can she do that before the killer tracks her down first? This title has Common Core connections. " Henry has done it again with another edge-of-your-seat mystery/thriller. Recommended for middle school and high school mystery/thriller/suspense collections and for April Henry fans." ― VOYA, starred review Review: Amazing! - April Henry is one of my favorite authors and for good reason! Her thrillers are the best and they always keep me guessing until the very end. Very well written as usual. Review: This is the type of book I just love reading!2 - Olivia had lost her mother as a kid. According to the police, her father had killed her mother and ran away. But after fourteen years, new evidence point to the fact that her father was killed on the same day. Now, Olivia wants justice for her parents being taken away from her in such a young age. With a new identity, she returns to her old town. Will she be able to identify​ the killer before the killer identifies her? The Girl I Used to Be is the first book I’ve read by author April Henry. When starting any new books by an author I’ve never read before my expectations going into it are somewhat natural but this time, I really love it. The book starts off with a bang, with the cops knocking on Olivia Reinhart’s door, telling her that her father has also been dead all along, and not the person to blame like everyone thought. It pulls you right into the story, and Henry’s writing keeps you gripped. Olivia/ Ariel was a great narrator, each world filled with pain and strength and the ability to love and be loved that was taken from her. Henry really makes you feel for her. Every new chapter held a new piece of evidence, a thrilling build up to the very end where the truth becomes revealed. There was never a dull moment, that’s for sure. I’m looking forward to reading more books from the author that’s for sure! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #181,695 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #31 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Orphans & Foster Homes (Books) #315 in Teen & Young Adult Mysteries & Detective Stories #364 in Teen & Young Adult Thrillers & Suspense (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 913 Reviews | ## Images ![GIRL I USED TO BE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MMsvFMRiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! *by F***E on June 19, 2023* April Henry is one of my favorite authors and for good reason!

Ariel(Olivia) has had a difficult life never really having a family after her grandmother died and she was put into foster care. She's living a mostly calm life when the police show up telling her father, he man she spent 14 years believing killer her mother, is dead and actually believed to be another victim instead of the killer himself. I wish it had been longer because this was to good in the amount of pages it had . --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/42253110-girl-i-used-to-be](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/42253110-girl-i-used-to-be) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
