Review: Tell Me When You Feel Something

Tell Me When You Feel Something by Vicki Grant
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Viv has the perfect part-time job.  She is an SP (simulated patient) for a medical school.  She is really good at it because she is always faking how she feels.  When Viv ends up in a coma and there is video evidence of her taking drugs, the questions pile on top of each other.  What really happened to Viv? 

 

Tell Me When You Feel Something is a stand-alone mystery told from many points of view.  The narrators don’t always agree on what they saw or felt and the reader must untangle the stories as they unfold.  Grant did a wonderful job giving various viewpoints, but that same variety was the book’s downfall.  There were just too many changes in timeframe and person that the overall story was pushed to the side in order to follow and determine where the mystery was going.  I enjoyed the beginning and the ending, but the middle was hard to get through.
