Tell Me You're Mine by Elisabeth Norebäck
3.0
This book is one of many that have been written lately using the unreliable narrator trope. Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Woman in the Window come to mind.
I spent the majority of the novel not knowing whether or not Stella's beliefs and suspicions were justified and whether everyone in Stella's life wants her to move on from the loss of her child because it would be easier for them, not necessarily easier for her. I vacillated between thinking her beliefs were justified and thinking she was being paranoid. As a reader, it was infuriating not to know whether I should be rooting for the main character or not.
"Mourning a child is a lonely business. The longing and the loss are impossible to share with anyone else."
I would've rated this book higher if it wasn't so darn tense and depressing for so much of the book. However, this book was well written. I would recommend it to suspense seekers.
