Can’t-Wait Wednesday: Tell Me How You Really Feel by Amina Mae Safi
Hi friends! Welcome back to another installment of Can’t-Wait Wednesday! Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tessa at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read (generally, books that aren’t yet released). It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. Today, I’m going to be talking about Tell Me How You Really Feel by Amina Mae Safi. Tell Me How You Really Feel by Amina Mae Safi Sana Khan is a cheerleader and a straight A student. She's the classic (somewhat obnoxious) overachiever determined to win. Rachel Recht is a wannabe director who's obsesssed with movies and ready to make her own masterpiece. As she's casting her senior film project, she knows she's found the perfect lead - Sana. There's only one problem. Rachel hates Sana. Rachel was the first girl Sana ever asked out, but Rachel thought it was a cruel prank and has detested Sana ever since. Told in alternative viewpoints and inspired by classic romantic comedies, this engaging and edgy YA novel follows two strongwilled young women falling for each other despite themselves. Do you see this? Just look at that cover! This book shows a sapphic couple on the cover... IN YA!! I'm so happy about this! This is the energy that we need in 2019! Also, the diversity! This book features a Jewish and Middle-Eastern by way of Mexico main character and a Muslim, half-Persian, half-Bengali main character. While I was looking through the early reviews of this, I saw someone say that it is an enemies to lovers tale and OMG that is my favorite trope. I know that this will be the rom-com that I need in my life for summer 2019! What do you think of my pick for Can't Wait Wednesday? Have you heard of this book? Will you be picking it up?

Rayne & Delilah’s Midnite Matinee by Jeff Zentner – a cute friendship and love story
“For a long time I shined my light for someone other than me. But not anymore. Now I shine bright for me. You can create light even when everyone's left you behind because that's what you do. It's what I do.” ― Jeff Zentner, Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee First off, let me just say, I loved this book! I have heard so much (really good reviews) about Jeff Zentner's books and I hadn't read one until this one. This book was laugh out loud funny! Josie and Delia are soo funny and quirky. I wish they were real people because I know that they would just be a ball of fun! Speaking of quirky, I've seen reviews from people who thought that the quirk was too much. I, personally, thought that it was fun and light-hearted besides they're best friends, like, if you can't be silly and goofy with your best friend then who can you be silly and goofy with? Also, it is set in Jackson, Tennessee. For those of you that don't know, I'm from TN and I live just a few hours out of Jackson. I thought that was pretty cool to read a story in a familiar setting. I don't really come across many books that are set in Tennessee. Josie and Delia are so girl power and I loved it!! I am here for all of that! It also has a little romance sprinkled in but that aspect didn't take over the entire story once it did happen. Also, the romance is so subtle in this book but OMG it's sooo adorable. I hardcore ship Josie and Lawson. Also, it has a road trip! I love road trip stories, ya'll! ❤ I've talked a lot about how this book is light-hearted and fun but it also very emotional. I had tears in my eyes and I was trying so hard not to cry in front of everyone so many times! This book touches so well on mental health, parental problems and struggles, growing up and growing apart (sort of). The mental health representation is done so well and I really appreciated that. All in all I enjoyed the heck out of this book and I highly recommend it! “I’m glad things end, though. It forces you to love them ferociously while you have them. There’s nothing worth having that doesn’t die.” ― Jeff Zentner,Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee
