Buxbaum, J. (2016). Tell me three things. New York: Random House.
I adored this book! I can see why it made the YALSA 2017 Top
Ten Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. The book was humors, quick
paced, and adorable! Two years following the death of her mother, Jessie’s
father springs the fact that he has fallen in love and eloped! Jessie must
leave everything she knows in Chicago to move in with her new stepmother and
her teenage son. Things aren’t going so well for Jessie it appears that her
step brother seems completely disinterested in her. The kids in her new school
seem to have known another forever. He father is so happy an in love he ignored
how hard this is for her.
Jessie is struggling to fit in at Wood Valley Hight School.
Out of the blue she receives helpful emails which later turn into text messages
from “Somebody Nobody.” She begins to meet so many wonderful characters and
with each male one she encounters she wonders if he could possibly be her SN.
Who is SN? He seems to be perfect and goes to her school. Yet she’s not sure
which great guy he could be and is almost scared that he’s not who she wants
him to be.
Through the new friends she has made and her chats with the
mysterious SN jessie makes her own way in L.A.
I adored how the author gifted Jessie the one thing everyone wants which
is to feel truly seen and to feel known and that’s exactly what she has with
SN. The reveal of SN has me on edge and that is the key to making this book so suspenseful!!
It is kind of predictable, yet you scared to find out who SN is. It’s a modern
fresh take on a secret admirer that made this so book so charming!
Grade Level Recommendation: 7-9
