Don't Tell, Don't Tell, Don't Tell is a beautiful coming-of-age story told from the viewpoint of Frederick, a teenage boy with Asperger's. I found myself completely engrossed in Frederick's incredible mind and was blow away by his thought processes. It was really fun to see how much growth he went through once Angel pursued a friendship with him. This book would should be required reading in schools as it deals with some very real issues such as peer pressure, bullying, body shaming, and sexual assault.

The only way I can think of starting this review is by saying wow, wow and wow again. This book took me on a journey that I didn't expect and thoroughly enjoyed. The first half was told from the pov of Frederick, a young boy with Aspergers who is suddenly befriended by a new girl Angel who seems intent on teaching him that friendship is worth having. The author captures Frederick's voice perfectly and in doing so I felt I learnt so much about life living with Aspergers. In the second half of the book we hear from Angel who is an average girl struggling with life as she becomes the victim of bullies which lands her in more than one dangerous situation. I don't want to say too much about the actual storyline as I want people to read it as it is a book that leaves a lasting impression on you. Not only will I recommend it in store but I'm already telling people about it!!!
