Tell Me When (Lost in You) is a very heartbreaking, gut-wrenching yet powerful read.The story is about two lost souls, Amber and Marcus, who find healing through one another.Warning: lots of dark/heavy issues in here (Rape, Abuse, PTSD)so if they are triggers be aware.Amber is in college pursing her dream to become a veterinarian, struggling in her Pre-cal class, having nightmares and all the while dealing with PTSD from a horrific encounter in her past.Mysterious bad boy plus engineering student, Marcus seems to be the only one who can help Amber with Pre-cal, though his reputation as a player totally puts her off.As they spend time together in tutoring, Amber begins to trust Marcus enough to have them to pretend to be a couple to keep other guys away. Though Marcus doesn’t know why she wants to keep away other guys, he rolls with it. Before long their connection to one another is inevitable!In time,they come to realize that their painful pasts can help them heal together.But will they make it? will they allow each other in? gaaaaah! Such an awesome page-turner. The end was like...whoa. I didn’t really see it coming.I cried, I laughed, my heart ached for them both.I’m also a big fan of alternating POV and the author did a great job in this novel!! I LOVED this book!! It’s a wonderful story about hope & healing.Stina Lindenblatt is a very talented writer and did an awesome job on her debut novel!Hopefully I didn’t give too much away! Go read it! and I recommend doing so with a box of tissues! Wow, I have read books with serious topics before, but this one really tops it.Such an addictive read that once ou start you wont be able to put it down.I really liked Amber, she has been through a hell of a lot and though she still suffers she is an extremely strong person for trying to move on with her life and start living again. There were times when I just wanted to hug her.Marcus, MMMMMMM, Marcus. I think I would totally start failing math just so I could get him to tutor me! But he is more that what he initially seems and has his own story to tell too and he really grows as a character through the book.Sweet, sexy, heartbreaking and happy this book will drag you in and will not let go until you have turned the last page over a few hours later.
