Tell Me How You Really Feel
by Aminah Mae Safi
Tell Me How You Really Feel was one of my most anticipated books of the year, and it didn't disappoint!
Pitched as an f/f hate to love rom-com, it, with a surprise (to me) feminist twist. I loved both main characters, Sana and Rachel. They suited each other so well, and I loved watching each girl grow the closer it got to their impending deadlines. Their relationship evolved so well, and I found myself grinning along as they realized what was happening.
I loved the family aspect of the book too, and the complexity of Sana's relationships with her other family members. They felt so genuine, in both her annoyance and suffocation from them, and her affection and their understanding.
My only complaint about the novel was how awkward Diesel's inclusion in the book was. He was there at the start, randomly decided to befriend Rachel, and them promptly disappeared again. Sana was supposed to be close friends with him, but he only showed up again when he was convenient for Rachel. The whole thing just felt like he was an after thought, included to tie things together, and to give Sana a friend since both MCs couldn't be complete friendless.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, it was cute and funny in all the right places, with just enough of a hate to love relationship to keep things interesting. If you're looking for a hate to love romance that isn't too aggressive (or toxic) this book is for you!
