tell me how you really feel by aminah mae safi

I absolutely love movies as much as I love books so it was very fun to read about a character who also loves movies and is directing her own. But then the two start to bond and get to know each other, and it’s freaking cute. Sana comes for a wealthier family because her Mother is a producer and she’s worked her way up in Hollywood, but she has a complicated relationship with her Father.īecause of a hilarious situation that happens in the beginning her film teacher requires Sana to be the lead actress in Rachel’s film, and this understandably upsets her because she’s her biggest enemy.

Who is taking a film class and she’s directing her first film for this project, and she absolutely hates Sana (because Sana asked Rachel out when they first met and Rachel thought she was making fun of her.) Rachel’s family is very poor, her Mom walked out on them and her and her Father are barely making it. She gets described in this book as a south Asian Elizabeth Taylor. We have Sana, this absolutely gorgeous cheerleader who is also a very out of the closet lesbian. It’s hate to love and both of these two main characters were so fleshed out and this story gave me so much life. This is an adorable YA f/f romance that I didn’t know I needed until I read it. Told in alternative viewpoints and set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in the springtime, when the rainy season rolls in and the Santa Ana's can still blow–these two girls are about to learn that in the city of dreams, anything is possible–even love.

She never did really get over that first crush, even if Rachel can barely stand to be in the same room as her.

Rachel was furious that Sana tried to prank her by asking her on a date.īut when it comes time for Rachel to cast her senior project, she realizes that there’s no more perfect lead than Sana–the girl she's sneered at in the halls for the past three years. Rachel is a film buff and aspiring director, and she’s seen Carrie enough times to learn you can never trust cheerleaders (and beautiful people). The first time Sana Khan asked out a girl–Rachel Rechtit–went so badly that she never did it again. Aminah Mae Safi's Tell Me How You Really Feel is an ode to romantic comedies, following two girls on opposite sides of the social scale as they work together to make a movie and try very hard not to fall in love.
