So enjoyable. I loved the premise of communicating through song titles on a shared music app. There were however a few downfalls - the main character made questionable decisions with the information she had and seemed oblivious to the obvious.

It was a good read, and I'd recommend it to friends though

This woman had the BIGGEST SET OF OVARIES to ever exist to go through everything and find out the whole ass mess that husband of hers put her through 💀💀💀 I kept saying babe divorce ALL THE TIME LMAO
Great book if you like thrillers and mistery, and feeling like you have a ticking bomb in your neck that won’t go off unless you finish this novel within 5 hours lol

This book was just not for me. I did not find the MFC likeable and it was hard to get through. I ended up DNFing this.

3.5 stars rounded up. This was a mostly fun, fast-paced thriller. It kept me guessing in the sense that I was never completely sure what was going on. Which was the point, I think, because the main character didn't know what was going on either. It wasn't a particularly original story and the twists weren't really twisty, but it was entertaining and the playlist aspect was actually really fun.

I read an ARC of this book from NetGalley. All comments are my own.

Overall enjoyed this book, mainly in the beginning. It was unique with the spotify playlist but there were times I felt like it kept repeating itself and the misogyny of the family kept bothering me. Believe the author will grow from this book and look forward to another book by her.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 stars)
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

This was a solid read with an interesting premise. The writing was engaging, and the story moved along at a nice pace. I liked the mix of emotion and suspense throughout.

That said, it didn’t totally stick with me after I finished. It was enjoyable in the moment, but not super memorable for me. Still, if you’re looking for a quick, easy read with some twists, it’s worth checking out!

Tell Me You Trust Me is a page-turning thriller, full of secrets and suspense. I had some guesses of what was happening early on, but was surprised in the end.

Did not read. Have way too many books on my shelf - need to cut back. Hoping to get to it in the future though.

This was a unique and engrossing thriller that I would recommend to any thriller lover! The communication and clues through Spotify was something I've never seen before and that made it really fun! The story was twisty and made you suspicious of everyone, so it really put you in the headspace of the main character who doesn't know who she can trust. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something new in your thrillers!

Clues centering on a playlist, now that is something new. This book wasn’t the same old thriller that keeps getting pumped out over and over again. This book had an interesting premise and kept you wondering till the end.

The narrative follows a journey of self-discovery as the protagonist navigates through personal challenges and connections with others. Owens’ writing is both engaging and thought-provoking, allowing readers to reflect on their own experiences with trust. The characters are well-developed, adding depth to the storyline. Overall, the book offers a poignant look at the importance of trust in our lives and will resonate with anyone who has grappled with the risks and rewards of opening up to others.

Tell Me You Trust Me is an emotionally layered romance that explores vulnerability, healing, and the slow, often messy journey toward trust. Elle Owens writes with sensitivity and depth, crafting characters who are beautifully imperfect and easy to root for. The chemistry is undeniable, but it’s the emotional growth and quiet strength in the story that truly shine. It’s heartfelt, honest, and the kind of book that lingers long after the final page.

Thank you to NetGalley, Elle Owens and Thomas & Mercer for an ARC of this twisty and unique debut thriller. Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was unique in the sense that there were song titles/music incorporated throughout, which is not like other thrillers. The book was twisty (especially near the end), but I did feel that it dragged out at times. 3.5 star ⭐️ rounded up to 4. I would read more from this author.

thank you to netgalley for the e-arc. i really enjoyed this, it was fast paced with a good twist. the best domestic thrillers start right away in the first few pages and this one definitely did that. my favorite part was how they connected through hacking into the spotify account and communicate through songs, that part was brilliant.

TELL ME YOU TRUST ME is a great thriller for anyone who loves a character driven plot fully of mystery, drama,

I loved the format of the book- the days with a time really helped me to center the plot and to know how the plot relates.

The writing was excellent- it was well organized, the plot was clear, and the twists were slowly revealed in such a satisfying way. The clues in the music- mmm, such an unique way to reveal the plot that left me wanting more.

The storyline was a good one, but had some moments where it dragged a little bit. Not too twisty and quite predictable.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

One sitting read. The premise and execution were great! The mystery is enough to keep you reading in hopes of solving it. Thank you to Netgalley, the Publisher and the Author for the opportunity to read and review this prior to publication.
