Tell Me How You Really Feel

Written by Aminah Mae Safi

Narrated by Aminah Mae Safi

Aminah Mae Safi's Tell Me How You Really Feel is an ode to romantic comedies, following two girls on opposite sides of the social scale as they work together to make a movie and try very hard not to fall in love.

The first time Sana Khan asked out a girl–Rachel Recht--it went so badly that she never did it again. Rachel is a film buff and aspiring director, and she’s seen Carrie enough times to learn you can never trust cheerleaders (and beautiful people). Rachel was furious that Sana tried to prank her by asking her on a date.

But when it comes time for Rachel to cast her senior project, she realizes that there’s no more perfect lead than Sana--the girl she's sneered at in the halls for the past three years. And poor Sana--she says yes. She never did really get over that first crush, even if Rachel can barely stand to be in the same room as her.

Told in alternative viewpoints and set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in the springtime, when the rainy season rolls in and the Santa Ana's can still blow--these two girls are about to learn that in the city of dreams, anything is possible--even love.

I like the book but What’s with the audio? s

[s.farscht · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved the author's narration although the audio is corrupted and not leveled in a couple places but it didn't bother me too much. The story itself was so compelling and beautiful, I would've needed this story at 15 more than I can express.

Something is off with the audio, like a bad microphone or something. Author’s voice not good either so couldn’t listen to any of it. a good narration makes the difference.
