Trust Me
Blair believes everything happens for a reason. Austin believes that’s something people tell themselves to survive.
Content Warning: trauma, addiction, eating disorders, grief, recovery. Mature readers.
Part of the See Me Series by Tella Alvarez. Trust Me can be read independently of the series.
She is hope. He is consequence. What begins as attraction becomes something neither of them knows how to walk away from.
But loving Austin means risking the one thing Blair has always held onto. The belief that suffering means something. That love is promised. That the universe is paying attention.
What if it isn’t?
Trust Me is a slow-burn contemporary romance about desire without guarantees and choosing someone even when nothing is certain.
Tropes: slow burn, opposites attract, hurt/comfort, dark romance, mental health, protective hero
Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Ana Huang, and Lucy Score.

i loved austin from the very first start he was introduced in See me.
i love austin and seren’s friendship, and im glad we got to see so much of it in this book.
blair, oh i resonated with her and her struggles so much.
the way the mental health issues, the addiction, the grief and the trauma is displayed and written is so real and so heartbreakingly raw.
i want so much more of blair&austin together!

If you are questioning reading this book, stop questioning and READ IT!!!
I will NEVER stop talking about this book. this book genuinely changed my life. I have truly never felt as seen or connected to a character than I did with Blair. this book will absolutely destroy you and heal you in ways you didn’t know you needed.
when Tella said “I like to make people cry with pretty words” she was not lying. I have never, and I mean neverrrr cried so much reading a book before. every time I reread this book I can’t go more than a few pages without shedding tears, typically of joy (sometimes painful)
Tella I cannot thank you enough for this book.

WOW MY FIRST 6 ⭐️ READ OF THE YEAR.
Tella Alvarez knows how to hit the spot with her writing. This has to be one of the most relatable books I’ve read and it was so hard to read at points because I could FEEEEL their pain!
Cherry is me as a character and I need to give her some spotlight! That girl was going through so much while still trying to take care of her best friend too! I’m CROSSING MY FINGERS there is a Cherry and Levi book because i actually will die if I don’t get it.

I liked See Me but I loved Trust Me!
The hidden layers in this book to join the 2 books together were brilliant.
Austin & Blair are everything... both hiding things until Austin's secrets & her twins traumas start to push her over the edge into old behaviours.
Angsty, this touched on addiction, past behaviours, control and love. I need the next book asap!
