Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan captures the mercurial mood swings of teenhood, complete with the anxiety of surviving mortifying moments and the seismic triumphs of socially getting over. Read her books and I’ll see you at meetings! Finishing her second novel is easier because now, I can admit it: Hello! My name is Mel and I’m a Sara Farizan addict. This time, the post- Crush hangover was easier to cope with because I know now that Sara Farizan is here to stay: she is winning awards and has officially knocked out any inkling of a sophomore slump. Once again lying on my belly with a Farizan book propped up Tiger Beat style, my crush had returned, and I was again immersed in the tumultuous teenage antics of my new best friend Leila. Ten months later, a coworker handed me Farizan’s follow up teen novel, Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel. Life after If You Could Be Mine was as gut-wrenching as learning my new crush had switched schools. My reading was suddenly limited to Sara Farizan’s Algonquin Young Adult Authors page. An hour after that, I’d finished the book and fallen into a book hangover that lasted over two weeks. An hour after that first sentence, I lay on my belly in bed like a tween, my heart racing for the fate of my new best friend Sahar. When I brought home Sara Farizan’s debut teen novel If You Could Be Mine, I peeked at the first sentence and got sucked in to the end. ‘Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel’ by Sara Farizan
