Tell Me How You Really Feel by Betty Cayouette

3.5

I found this story incredibly interesting! I thought the flashbacks were a good way of adding context to Maeve and Finn's relationship and how things have shifted. I liked where they were placed - it felt like there was a good amount of thought for how they were added into the book. While I have some mixed feelings about Finn (he gets called out once or twice, and I maybe wanted to smack him upside the head here and there), I thought the book made a good point about how those not in positions of power are not afforded the same benefits and luxuries as those who are born into that world. However, I also think Maeve (well, both of them) could have communicated a bit better (I still mostly blame Finn though, just to be clear).

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press/St. Martin's Griffin for the ARC!
