Tell Me When You Feel Something by Vicki Grant

Needs Trigger Warnings

I actually finished this book a few weeks ago however I am beyond behind on everything this year and it is new years eve and I am trying to review all the books I have managed to finish this year that I just haven’t been able to do.  This was yet another solid three-star thriller.

Based on the description I was expecting a solid easy quick read in the who done it format. However, what I actually received was a book that was completely obsessed with opioids. most of the book is focused on the main character Viv and her struggles with alcoholism. I thought it was done pretty well and that should have been the focus of the story. However, the book kept trying to convince me that the real story was the “mystery” of how a teenage girl with addiction issues and a disastrous personal life managed to overdose on opioids.

Vivienne’s story, told through flashbacks, is interwoven with the (mostly pretty dull) stories of two of her friends, as well as interviews by the police as they try to find out where she could have obtained the single painkiller, she took that caused her overdose. I just can’t imagine the police putting in that kind of an investigation when Viv was filmed taking the drugs willingly.  Overall there are bits of the story that I love and it did have a resolution at the end of the story which I was happy to see.  Overall, I am happy I gave this author a chance not sure if I will be reading the next one but only time will tell.
