Tell Me You’re Mine took me on quite the ride. Going from almost DNFing to not being able to put it down and then how it tugged at my heartstrings!
So, it took me awhile to really get into this book. For the first 25% I was a bit bored and didn’t feel any motivation to read it. I actually considered DNFing it in the beginning. I was only really interested in Stella’s chapters. The other two perspectives just didn’t capture my interest. I wished that all the chapters were from Stella’s point of view.
Then it started to pick up for me around the 25% point and I got into it. While I was mostly captivated while reading, however, I didn’t really think about the book when I was away from it. Nothing was pulling me back to it. I could have easily just left it unfinished. But since there was interest while reading, and nothing I necessarily disliked about it, I kept reading it.
THEN maybe about the last third of the book really pulled me in. I didn’t want to put it down and definitely thought about it when I wasn’t reading it!
I am disappointed, though, that I did totally predict everything. I posted on Twitter:
…and I was right. So, nothing surprised me, which is no fun. I always love when a book can surprise me!
Overall, I am left with a very pleased feeling. It took a while to get there and there were some definite disappointments along the way, but I did enjoy this book. I would even recommend it! And for parents out there – it will really tug on your heartstrings in parts. One particular part specifically – I had to take a break so that I wouldn’t get too upset, as I was reading in a public place.
