Tell Me Everything – review (AD)
I was kindly given an electronic copy of Tell Me Everything by Laura Kay in exchange for an honest review*.
Tell Me Everything book blurb
Would you entrust your life choices to someone hell-bent on avoiding theirs?
Natasha has everything under control, at least that’s what her clients think. As a therapist, she has all the answers but when it comes to her personal life, she seriously needs to start taking her own advice.
Still living with her ex-girlfriend, Natasha’s messy love life is made up of dates and one-night stands. After all, why would you commit to one person, when there is an endless stream of people waiting for you to swipe right? Besides, people always leave.
But when Margot arrives on the scene, everything changes. Flailing between mending long-broken relationships and starting new ones, Natasha’s walking the line between self-actualisation and self-destruction… With denial no longer an option, it is time for Natasha to take control of her own happiness.
My overall thoughts on Tell Me Everything
Having enjoyed The Split by Laura Kay last year, I was excited to read Tell Me Everything and I wasn’t disappointed.
Natasha is a therapist who helps others navigate through their fears and challenges but hasn’t quite been able to that for herself.
The Story starts with Natasha moving out of the home she’s shared with Georgia (her ex-girlfriend) and moving in with another friend.
We quickly learn that she has a twin sister, she’s a therapist, she’s got some good friends around her but she clearly has commitment issues which we go on to learn probably stems from her estranged dad leaving the family and coming out as gay.
I really liked the dynamic between Natasha and Natalie and how Natasha interacted with her sister’s twins.
Their fish and chips on the beach tradition is definitely something I can get behind!
It was interesting to see Natasha battling not to be a therapist to herself at times. I also liked how her family and friends were so supportive but also tried to push her too.
I enjoyed the emotional journey Natasha goes through in this story, reconnecting with her dad, connecting more with her mum and choosing eventually to be happy.
There’s lot of humour and some heart-warming moments too.
I really enjoyed the LA trip and the visits to the beach in Brighton – Kay has a way of transporting the reader through her words.
This is another great LGBTQ+ read from Laura Kay that I’m sure people will love.
