I don’t even know how to review this book besides telling you all to read it. Honestly, this is one of best, more original books I have ever read and I DEVOURED it.

THE PLOT & PACING:
I honestly thought Vicki had clearly made so much effort when it came to her plotting. I felt the mystery, I didn’t see any plot holes and I wasn’t left quizzing everything when the answers were revealed. That’s right ladies and gents, this book made sense!
Also the pacing was just right.
THE CHARACTERS:
Okay, so I really liked how this was a multi perspective novel and I thought all the characters had their own unique voice. I thought Viv was relatable, Davida was humble and Tim was hilarious. I really enjoyed all of there chapters.
OVERALL:
This book honestly was packed full of mystery and I did find myself second guessing at some points. Although I figured out what happened quite early on, the execution was done so well.
I’d definitely recommend!
I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

***Thanks to NetGalley for providing me a complimentary copy of TELL ME WHEN YOU FEEL SOMETHING by Vicki Grant in exchange for my honest review.***

After taking pills at a party, Vivienne lies in a coma. Her best friend Davida swears Viv never drinks or uses drugs. BFFs know everything about each other, even if they’ve only been friends for five weeks. Vic’s and Davida’s boyfriends both suspects, are questioned by police as are those from her part-time job as a Simulated Patient SP at a medical school.

The SP program drew me to TELL ME WHEN YOU FEEL SOMETHING. Living near a number of medical schools, I was familiar with programs where people role played illnesses for student diagnosis. I’d never known programs to have the cosmetic application and the extent of physical preparation Vicki Grant described, but that added to the interest of the SP job.

Grant created an interesting cast of minor characters and family set ups, which added dimension to the story. TELL ME WHEN YOU FEEL SOMETHING alternated timelines and points of view. I knew early on many were unreliable narrators, how inaccurate I was unsure. Most of my theories turned out to be wrong.

TELL ME SOMETHING is a unique, interesting mystery that will appear to a wide variety of readers.
