4.5/5 

“Tell me you love me, and tell me goodnight.”

This was another beautiful story of grief, moving on, and acceptance. I loved getting to read Jon’s individual story. After reading Forget the stars, I knew I had to read the rest of the band members stories, and this one was another beautiful tragedy.

I really enjoyed the characters in Tell Me Goodnight. They were all unique and complex characters that fit perfectly into the storyline. I also absolutely loved seeing how Jon ended up as part of the band. (I also obviously loved seeing all the band members characters again!). 

As for the main romance in this book, I really enjoyed it. I loved that both Tess and Jon were aspiring artists and they both helped eachother tap into their inspiration to create something beautiful. I also loved that they both helped eachother move on and heal from the loss of a loved one. 

Overall, this book was really beautiful. It was a nice spin of the typical babysitter/parent romance troupe that was done in a well written and respectable way.

I think I've said it before when writing reviews for books by Kelsey Kingsley, but she has a way with words! Without even realizing it, she sucks you in to her stories and makes you care so much for her characters. Even though her stories have an ending for her characters, they always leave you wanting more. I would even take a story of Tessa and Jon just being happy! 

Jon is a musician and plays piano in his brother's club. His life was turned upside down and he was left behind to take care of his three precious girls (who may even be my favorite characters in this story, they're just so sweet). Jon is in survival mode and in many ways he's stuck.

Tessa dreams of writing a book, but hasn't written one yet. She moves in with her grandmother to take care of her and have a chance to write her book. I love Tessa's grandmother, because she is so feisty. As a bestselling author, she knows what Tessa is going through. At a certain point Tessa needs a break from her grandmother and wants a job. That's when Tessa and Jon meet.

My favorite thing about Kelsey Kingsley's books is that her characters are never perfect, but are perfect for each other. Tessa and Jon's first encounters are so much fun and maybe a bit awkward, but I love the journey of them getting to know each other and start to feel more.

For me Tell Me Goodnight is a journey of finding yourself again, family, love, follwing your dreams and second chances. If you're looking for a light and carefree romance, this isn't a book for you. Still give it a chance though, because it's so much more. The journey this author takes you on is so worth it! Tell Me Goodnight is unforgettable and I know I will be reading it again in the near future! I will never get enough.
