This book belongs to the top, right up there with Anna and the French Kiss, in my heart of hearts.
Format: Kindle
The story is typical YA. It is written from Jessie’s POV, the lead character. Her dad remarried and they ended up moving to sunny LA where her rich stepmom and stepbrother lives. She left her bestfriend Scar and the rest of her life in Chicago. New school (entirely different from her old one). New people (full of rich kids). New friends? Hopefully. Pretty girl who doesn’t think she’s hot. Has issues with her dad for moving to LA without consulting her. Then come the knight and shining armor to save the day, or should I say knights since there are two of them? One anonymous and one irl (in real life for you). The guesswork on who SN is is not really much of a work for the reader. I think the moment Jessie tried to guess and guessed miserably wrongly is the moment I closed the book (or turned off my Kindle to be precise) and decided to sleep (just so you know, I started reading this before going to sleep and I ended up sleeping at around 60% of the book). It is too cliche for me. Nevertheless, I must go on and finish the book the next day because while the plot is not really a surprise, the writing is really good. Plus I really want Jessie to know SN already and for them to have a happily ever after (I’m a sucker for HEAs).
Similar with Jessie, I also prefer writing over talking, so the emails/IMs/texts between the characters are so fun to read. I find re-reading the conversations again and again and again. The use of uncommon words are effortlessly molded in the conversations and I did really look up the meaning a number of times (innuendo, trope, equivocally?, etc.). The poetry discussions – while I don’t really get it, is interesting. I might read The Waste Land one of these days even if just the first paragraph and really try to understand what it means. I may even read a book by Gertrude Stein. A rose is a rose is a rose.
The friendships, the relationships, the dad/daughter issues, are all nicely closed and solved in the book (HEAs, yey!). I can imagine them going on with their lives after the book stronger, together and braver.
The characters are also so well developed that I understand why Ethan acts strange or why Jessie is insecure, the same with the rest of the characters – Theo, Scar, dad, stepmom.
How it made me feel:
Overall, this book pulls the right strings and leaves me feeling happy and giddy for them and congratulating them for a life well lived. For letting kismet take over. For taking chances. For knowing who they are and not caring what other people think. For getting to know and being comfortable with each other before actually falling in love. For experiencing death of a loved one but powering through it. For accepting the pain and moving on. For knowing when to say sorry and to speak up even if it is uncomfortable.
Jessie is Jessie is Jessie.
Ethan is Ethan is Ethan.
Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (5/5)
Comparisons:
Tell Me Three Things (TMTT) is much like Anna and the French Kiss (ATFK) but with a deeper issue to deal with since there is death or maybe not since Etienne’s mom is also suffering from cancer in ATFK. I find TMTT more believable or relatable since Etienne’s father is just impossibly worst in ATFK and there’s no such character in TMTT. Jessie and Anna are a bit the same in the sense that they both don’t know they’re hot although come to think of it, Jessie doesn’t have that one passion in life unlike Anna who wants to be a film critic. Etienne and Ethan are both contender for the best book boyfriends but we didn’t see much from Ethan since he is mostly on the behind the scenes life of Jessie.
ATFK gave me more butterflies in my stomach while TMTT gave me peace, satisfaction and hope. I’m not sure if I am saying this because TMTT is the latest book I read or not but in any case, I love both books and both of them will be here in my heart of hearts.

Please write constructed review if you are going to give one-star ratings
Format: Kindle
Overall I found this book very enjoyable. I thought the banter between Jessie and Somebody/Nobody was very funny and realistic. It was a very feel-good book, and I recommend this to anyone out there in the mood for a romantic story. But although this was a fun read I was a bit disappointed by the very predictable plot. It was very obvious from the start who SN was and although the author tries to make us believe it was someone else it was not credible at all. The author is clearly very talented, and I believe they could have made this a bit less predictable. This is why I would rate this book 4/5 stars. But I decided to up this book to 5 stars for the following reasons:
The reason that I picked up this book was because of the most 'helpful' comment out there. The commenter of that review gave one star to the book because she felt it was too graphic for her 13-year old daughter. I picked up this book not because I wanted to read graphic scenes but because I was absolutely outraged that someone would give one star to the author because in their opinion this was 'too graphic'. The responsibility of what is considered okay for a 13-years-old is up to the parent, and it is not my place to have an opinion about this. But giving a one-star review for that very reason is deplorable. Indeed it is not the author's fault if this book does not live up to the standards of a parent. A review is supposed to criticize the book for its plot, its character development and overall to give feedback to the author. I have all the respect in the world for people who give one-star reviews to my favorite book as long as they do so with constructed criticism. This is not a criticism here but a complaint originating from specific moral beliefs. In my opinion, this is completely disrespectful towards the author who deserves valid criticism. By giving a one-star review you are plundering the average rating of the book, and doing so without actual criticisms seems unacceptable to me. This is why I felt that I needed to up by a star my review, to make up for what I consider an unacceptable review.
There are many other ways to complain if a parent feels that this is not acceptable for younger audiences such as writing an actual complaint to the editor and asking that warnings be put in place. Moreover, I want to point out that the label YA and other reviews that recommended this for high school teenagers might have given a hint to the person who wrote this bad review that this might not have been acceptable for her daughter.
Going back to my actual review I want to add that the character development of Jessie was also very well done. We see the evolution of how she deals with grief splendedly. She was a very real character and I felt that I could relate to her a great deal. The other characters also had personalities that were easily distinguishable, making it an even more enjoyable read.
This book was enjoyable and as I believe I've said before a very fun read, which I thank the author for.

Amazing book
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
So far I’m on chapter 11 of Tell Me Three Things and from what I’ve read it is a really good book. But I will say one thing that isn’t an deal breaker but still caught my eye. The book is about two teenagers and in it you can tell the author doesn’t necessarily get the language teenagers use, I guess. But with an absolutely horrifying “cool beans” in the book it’s still amazing and something I can get past. Anyways the only reason I haven’t given it a 5 star is cause the book came dirty which I knew was possible cause I saw another review just like this one but I can easily wipe down the book so that doesn’t really bother me.

A totally unexpected ride...
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Actual rating 3.5 stars.
I really got a kick out of ‘Tell Me Three Things,’ it weaves poetry, pop culture, and social media neatly into the narrative. Though I did feel like the pacing was somewhat slow. The truth is not a lot happens in this book, however I wasn’t bored by any means. It has that type of quirkiness that I’ve come to like from titles by David Levithan. Imperfect characters, big city sarcasm, and witty dialogue.
The whole SN (Somebody Nobody) thing was a little trite. I liked it having an anonymous person to chat to as a story telling device – a Cinderella story in reverse of sorts, but in a world of social media awareness and predators, something was screaming in the back of my head that our protagonist Jessie was being gullible.
I related to Jessie and got all the feels. I’ve lost a large number of family members in the last three years, and the grief is still raw, so there were times I had to put this book down because I couldn’t breathe. Many of her words rang so true. It’s not something anyone can understand unless it’s happened to them. I related to her quiet bookishness, her nerdiness, but I felt like she should’ve had more of a backbone. Especially when dealing with her Father. I know I would have totally lost it much earlier, and had a major meltdown at his feet and blame him for everything. That’s what grief can do to you. It also makes you numb. Maybe it’s my own experience colouring my views on Jessie and how she handled everything. I wanted her to be a little more prickly, fragile, volatile… maybe to validate how I handled my own grief and loss.
I felt the ‘all the boys fall for the new girl’ thing was a little over done. Whether intended or not. Whether stated or not. It just felt that way; and it annoyed me to no end. But the relationships, be they potential romances or not, were all very cute and adorable. I actually had a lot of fun reading ‘Tell Me Three Things.’
Caleb, Ethan, and Liam felt interchangeable. Like there wasn’t a lot of difference between them. SN had more depth than any of these men. And Jessie objectified them most of the time. Their floppy hair, their piercing eyes… I was waiting for her to discover more.
I also liked how I was kept guessing about the identity of SN. I kept trying to sleuth it out myself – like who would have access to her private contact details (this fact alone which threw me in the wrong direction – and to which I’m still wondering about how SN got them in the first place). Buxbaum does a very good job at swaying opinion from one person to another through Jessie’s narrative. I finished the whole book in a day, even with many rests to pull my emotions back together, it’s a touching contemporary about finding yourself through the loss of a loved one and re-defining what it is when you are You, who is You, who is You.
And I totally mis-guessed who SN was.
Doh!
The ending was cute.
I guess this book on a whole, although adorkable, had a tone of the uncomfortable. The grief and loss thing, the internet predator issue that was ignored, the feeling lost and out of place… it was hard for me to get engrossed in the romance when these issues were like the elephant in the room. It could have been so much more intense and angsty, but I appreciated the light nature of the narrative - it let me live in the fantasy.
Like I mentioned earlier, I found the pacing a little slow, but the writing style is easy to read and littered with pop culture acronyms (some of which I had to look up) and random references (which I Googled too): all of which I love. It sounds lame, but I always get a kick about learning something new from a book, no matter how obscure the reference. A big two thumbs up from me.

Absolutely beautiful!
Format: Kindle
It all started with an email.
So this is actually the first contemporary novel that I listened to as an audiobook because I’m not built for audiobooks but I really really enjoyed listening. And then just a few days earlier, this book went on sale on Amazon so I had to buy it and reread. I’m sure when the time comes, I’ll be buying a hard copy to reread it over again because it’s definitely one of my favorite contemporaries to date.
Jessie is the new girl in school. She transferred from Chicago to California with her father to live with her stepmom, Rachel, and stepbrother, Theo. And then, during her first week at school, she received an email from Somebody Nobody (or SN) offering help in navigating Wood Valley High.
I really love Jessie’s character because she’s so genuine. She’s frustrating at times and naive but at the same time, adorable and smart which made her character arc stand out. She loves books too!
I also enjoyed the other characters like Theo, I just wish we had more Theo in the book. Agnes and Dri too! They’re Jessie’s friends in her new school. Scarlett was Jessie’s best friend back from Chicago and I really loved their funny banter and sweet conversations from time to time. Especially during that time when Jessie went back to Chicago to visit and they had this conflict resolved, it was such a step-up.
Of course, the contenders as to whom SN might be. Liam, Caleb, or Ethan. I quite enjoyed all three of them, each to their own personalities. Liam and Ethan are both musicians and from the same band. Caleb and Liam are close friends, so it was sort of implied that there might be a geometry with love here somewhere but actually there wasn’t. And I’m glad that SN turned out to be who I wanted it to be, although at first, I wasn’t really sure if it was going to be him. The mystery of SN’s true identity was really exciting, especially when it all went down to the moment of truth, where Jessie found out who SN really was. It was super fun to read, and more fun to hear because the emotions were really genuine! Mad props to Jorjeana Marie for her wonderful narration!
Another thing I enjoyed about this book was not only it celebrated love, it also dealt with friendships, families, and of course grief. Moving on is such an easy concept but it’s definitely hard to do. This concept made the whole book so damn relatable.
This book just hit the homerun with me. It’s utterly impossible not to feel and just explode with emotions with this book. It’s just so real and genuine and the author didn’t even really try. Julie Buxbaum just managed to capture it perfectly. With that said, I’m really looking forward to her future books!
