Tell Me What Really Happened

By: Chelsea Sedoti

Narrated by: Shannon Tyo, Kimberly Woods, Reynaldo Piniella, Josh Hurley, Jeff Gurner

The Breakfast Club meets The Usual Suspects in this riveting YA mystery told entirely through the first-person police interviews of four teens over the course of several hours that asks: how far will you go to be remembered?

An influencer, an over achiever, a heartthrob, an outcast, and a conspiracy theorist all go into the woods.

Sometime around midnight, one of them vanishes.

Now, the four who came back sit at the police station, and they each have a very different story to tell about the events of the night.

What truths will their lies reveal? And with the clock ticking, will the real story come out before one of them is gone for good?

Non memorable story listened in one sitting

Told by multiple POV, we listen to the teens that set out on a spontaneously camping trip that went wrong.

Listened in one day and was entertaining but not memorable. The audio narrator kept my attention with the different POVs.

Nicely made

I recommend this book to younger kids that like mysteries. Though there’s a bunch of side things that drag on for quite some time. But the book overall is really nice.

Predictable

TELL ME WHAT REALLY HAPPENED is a story of five friends/frienemies who go camping, one goes missing. The police assume Maylee dead and question the four teens.

Told us first person police interviews, I think Chelsea Sedoti did the best she could with the limited format in which she chose to tell the story. The mystery is fairly easy to figure out though not the nitty gritty details which were unsurprising.

The audible narration elevated the story.

Good

The different perspectives were good, the readers were the best part though. 4 out of 5 stars

Ugh why!?!?

This could have been so good! I am so irritated with all the woke bs, it was unneeded and didn't help with the story at all!! What a waste of money.
