Wow...remind me not to begin a book at 9:00pm! I started this book, after looking at the sweet cover, thinking it would be a typical quick read NA romance about a damaged girl that falls for a bad boy, with a little gratuitous sex. Boy was I wrong. Tell Me When is a remarkably well written story, more than just a romance. The characters were wonderfully drawn and developed. The intricate storyline made it a compelling read till the end.Amber Scott, a college freshman, has extreme issues causing her to barely function normally. She meets intense, sexy Marcus Reid, who has deep issues of his own. He sees in her a damaged, frightened sole, and in each other they open up and confront their painful past. The book was written with depth, giving emotional connection and chemistry to Amber and Marcus, along with well developed & interesting secondary characters and storylines. It deals with many dark and complex issues as well as offering hope, romance, and love.Although a little abrupt, the ending was positive and satisfying.  It was not necessary, as many books do, to go overboard with an unrealistic happily ever after. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to future books by Stina Lindenblatt!
