Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML:Three sisters struggle with the bonds that hold their family together as they face a darkness settling over their lives in this "one of a kind" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) debut novel that's a finalist for the William C. Morris Award.
There are three beautiful blond Babcock sisters: gorgeous and foul-mouthed Adrienne, observant and shy Vanessa, and the youngest and best-loved, Marie. Their mother is ill with leukemia and the girls spend a lot of time with her at a Mexican clinic across the border from their San Diego home so she can receive alternative treatments.

Vanessa is the middle child, a talented pianist who is trying to hold her family together despite the painful loss that they all know is inevitable. As she and her sisters navigate first loves and college dreams, they are completely unaware that an illness far more insidious than cancer poisons their home. Their world is about to shatter under the weight of an incomprehensible betrayal...

not really a "teen" book, paced more like an adult book. ( )

When I first came across Tell Me Something Real I thought ... " What could be more insidious than cancer?" Well, after reading this book, I have to admit I was wrong ~ there definitely is something more insidious.

This book is phenomenal!

It's a powerhouse of emotions and is full of surprising twists and turns in the plot that left me emotionally reeling. It has just jumped to being my #1 read book so far in 2016. Yep, it's really that good! What amazed me the most about this book is how Ms. Devlin captured and clearly portrayed this story's deeper themes so well. The characters were realistic and the raw emotions of this book carried me away as I read this story.

After I finished Tell Me Something Real, I was overwhelmed emotionally. I just sat there stunned mulling over all that I had read. I had to wait to write this review because I needed time to process it all. While it was hard facing the issues that this book highlighted, I am SO glad I read it! ( )

Emotional Hell Ride.
That sums up this read for me. I was dragged down one road sobbing and heart broken only to be slammed into the wall of extreme anger, disbelief and then sorrow. I devoured this torturous read in one day. I couldn't leave the story at any point, it left me dangling off a cliff through the whole book. I read this yesterday, today I feel hungover and tired. The daily pain of these characters lives was draining. Then to find out.... I tell you it was so twisted. I wanted to throw my book off a bridge and watch it sink to the bottom of the sea.
Did I like it ? No, and yes. I don't care to suffer in realistic pain and suffering in my entertainment choice, books. I read to escape reality. This was realistic and it tore me into little soaked bits of don't want to go there, but it was so good. I loved, hated it. I'm glad it was recommended to me by a reviewer friend or I never would have touched it.

Don't read reviews with spoilers. You need to experience this shock to get the most out of the author's work. ( )
