jane has spent her whole life in her sister, samantha's shadow. and she's always assumed that caleb, samantha's friend and business partner, doesn't see her in that same way that men are blinded by sam the moment they meet her. she's lived with this her whole life, so she gets it. but she doesn't have to love it. and even though she doesn't blame sam, she can also resent it.
except when tragedy strikes and jane and caleb have to face the world that is no longer the same. a world where hiding the attraction that underlies their every interaction doesn't make sense anymore. even though admitting things. telling each other how they truly feel is not something either of them are ready for.
it's not until they are ready to say goodbye and embark on a road trip to see things through that the possibility of more starts to crystallize. tell me is not just a love story, it's about grief and loss and acceptance. it's about friendship. it's about finding the beauty in terrible things. it's about taking a moment and looking around you for the puffed sleeves. they might be frilly and unnecessary, but the way they make you feel is everything.
this story refers to lucy maud montgomery a lot, especially anne of green gables, but in some ways jane and caleb remind me more of valancy and barney from the blue castle. which is my favorite montgomery book, and one i might have to re-read again. it's been a while and it's kind of like comfort food.
**tell me will publish on october 1, 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/montlake romance in exchange for my honest review.
