I couldn’t be happier that I read Tell Me When. This is another book I found
through Twitter, and the author, Stina Lindenblatt, was quite nice (We tweeted
back and forth for a bit about our love of New Adult even though we both used
to read YA. I saw she wrote a book, it looked interesting, so I bought it). Tell Me When is the story of Amber and
Marcus and their struggles to be together despite their struggles with
difficult pasts. Only dealing with their pasts is much more of a problem than
either of them imagined.
There are so many things I want to
say about this book, but so much of it would cause spoilers. Instead, I’ll just
say expect surprises around every corner. But there is so much emotion in this
story, and the characters in this story, with all their issues, are some of the
most genuine characters I’ve ever read.
If you’re going to read a book by a
new author, then this is the one to choose! I will warn you that the book deals
with some serious issues, and while we don’t really see anything, in depth, you
may want to prepare yourself for the disturbing pasts Amber and Marcus have
endured.
It was great to see characters that
were so courageous. I haven’t read many books about people who live in the
inner cities and the issues that can go along with that. Neither have I read
books about girls going through the issues that Amber is going through in this
story. But I have to say the scenarios seemed realistic as did the characters
reactions to them. Getting through such difficult situations and coming out on
the other side untainted by their situations was a great thing to read.
