I know that many people had problems with the way Jasmine was characterized but it really worked for me. The major premise aside, I felt that Jasmine's prickly, too sensitive personality, portrayed very realistically what (and perhaps how) a girl her age would react in the situations she finds herse...
Originally posted at my blog Chasing Empty PavementsThis book was one of those books where I enjoyed it half the time and hated it the other half. There were some parts that I thought were done so well and then there were some things that I thought were kind of off base. The Good: I think Gurtler ha...
I thought this YA novel was well-paced, well-written, and original. I was reading it late at night, and I meant to go to sleep and polish it off the next day, but instead I stayed up late to finish it. If I Tell is about a girl who finds her mother's boyfriend making out with her best friend, and sh...

There was so much more to this book t...

It had me hooked from beginning to end and I honestly say I couldn't put it down to see what happens to Jasmine (Jaz), the leading character. It's ve...
Jaz has secrets. Deep secrets that she is afraid to share with anyone else. After all, she has been let down and ostracized before. Who's to say that by letting anyone new in it won't happen again? Cue a story that is stunningly written, and heartrendingly intriguing. From page one I was involved in...
Posted on Book Chelle.I saw If I Tell as I was browsing NetGalley. The synopsis grabbed me and I felt that the story of Jasmine would be one that I could relate to. But what I got out of the story was much more than I had ever hoped. This is not your average book about a girl who falls in love. It's...
