Carrie's review of I Can't Tell You
I Can't Tell You by Hillary Frank
The style of this book is really interesting. It's told through a series of notes; paper notes, white board notes, and e-mails. It looks interesting on the page. The main character decides to stop talking thinking that he'll get in less "trouble". He's fighting with his best friend and afraid to tell another friend he is falling in love with her. I was a little frustrated with the 'will they or won't they aspect' of the sexual tension between these two friends. Clearly, they each feel more than friendship for the other but they are also only 20 so that drawn out flirting is probably pretty accurate. While my patience with the yes or no tease of this relationship was worn thin, it's a young adult novel and I'm sure high school students would relate to the book and enjoy it. Overall, I liked the book and I'd recommend it to young adults.
