I had a difficult time getting invested in If We Tell You by Nicola Dahlin I felt the characters were a bit flat and seemed one dimensional If We Tell You is a YA suspense with some good twists but it was slow in parts which I struggled to get through The ending seems to indicate there may be books ahead. If we tell youx what will you do This story may be interesting and intriguing for some readers but for me it missed the mark a bit and wasn t as interesting or page turning as I would expect from the synopsis NetGalley kidscanpress 9781525311475 3. If we tell youquiet 5 stars rounded up This was a fun fast paced popcorn book It reminded me of Spy Kids at times I could see this being made into a movie or TV show probably for Disney. Yoz what you telling me I liked the twins well enough even though I didn t really think they had very distinct personalities narrations The ending isn t a total cliffhanger but it gave me the feeling there s to come This story was entertaining enough that a sequel wouldn t be an absolute must read for me but it would be on my radar. If We Tell youssef I read an ARC of this book from NetGalley All comments are my own 9781525311475 This book starts out really well and captures your attention pretty quickly I think the last 50 or so pages make it hard to finish just because all the tension that builds up isn t really solidified in the end at least for me Yes questions are answered and the whole scope of the story is revealed who can you trust Cameron and Lewis Larsen are identical twins living normal suburban lives until their mom and dad kill two uninvited guests at a neighborhood barbecue and then disappear Following cryptic instructions their parents left behind the twins make their way to a small hotel in Edinburgh Too conspicuous as twins they hide by pretending to be one person each gathering clues on alternate days The closer they get to the truth only one thing is clear Someone is following them Will they uncover their parents secrets before their own is discovered With no idea who s after them or why the twins race to discover the truth about their parents And in the process they learn a lot about themselves and the unbreakable bond they share Readers will be obsessed with finding out what happens next in this highly suspenseful coming of age story with a deadly twist If We Tell You 3 stars I Thought I knew my parents Turns out I didn t A coming of age thriller mystery Likeable characters interesting premise Twins are always fascinating to read about but the plot lacked some action some suspense I liked how different Cameron and Lewis were how their personalities stood out I wanted some intrigue mystery surrounding their parents A perfect read for teenagers just starting to explore the thriller genre in search for a character driven plot and a simple storyline I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and am leaving this honest review voluntarily 9781525311475 This was actually quite good It is YA in the sense that the characters are twin 15 year olds so it is told through their viewpoint The plot itself is pretty intriguing Perhaps it s a bit easy to deduce what is ultimately happening but that takes nothing away from the story It was fun and interesting to watch this unfold and refreshing to see a viewpoint characters I wouldn t normally read I think teens would absolutely love this book everyone was a suspect and no one at the same time In my opinion and with my book taste it had a bit of a slow but not so slow start It took me a while to get into it but when I did I didn t wanna put it down I definitely recommend this book to everyone who enjoys Young Adult mysteries It comes out October 1st I rated it 3 stars 9781525311475 ARC for review To be published October 1 2024 I m rating this as an adult reading YA. If we tell you book a hotel because that s what I am but I think this was pretty nice suspense for a YA reader though I did want to drink every time Molly was mentioned Which if you were me was also an older YA thing to do but hopefully your kids are better behaved than I was Cameron and Lewis Larson why do most YA characters have the most vanilla last names Is this required Let s see some nice Polish names or something This is a melting pot dammit Oh correction This actually starts in Canada Well then in carry on I guess I don t know are identical twins living with their parents enjoying a backyard barbecue with neighbors and friends Suddenly two gunmen rush in and grab the boys Their parents kill the strangers and in the confusion before the police arrive their parents make a run for it but not before sending the boys off together but without them handing them previously packed go bags with clothing money and passports So you know they ve had a day They follow their parents instructions to Edinburgh where they meet up with a friend of their mother s Since twins will be memorable they pretend to be just one person taking turns going out to try to figure out what s happening and where their parents are Of course there is time for a little romance because they are only CHILDREN ON THE RUN FOR THEIR LIVES Like I said I think kids will like it and unlike most YA I read this one works for guys 9781525311475 Hmm I don t know what to feel about this one I kind of liked it but I wasn t entirely hooked if you know what I mean. Book if we tell you a story Cameron and Lewis are both likeable They re twins but they couldn t be different The first few chapters were confusing for me but as the plot went on I was able to guess what was happening It was a bit of a slow burn and I skipped through a couple of chapters because sometimes the conversations were repetitive and dull.
