Because it wasn't okay and never will be. We will power through it; I will continue to power through it - all the stagnant, soul-crushing grief - but it will never be okay that that my mom is not here. That she will not be at my high school graduation; that she will never give me the lecture, and I won't be able to play along and pretend to be embarrassed and say, Come on, Mom that she will not be there when I open my college acceptance letters (or rejections); that she will never see who I grow up to be - that great mystery of I am and who I am meant to be - finally asked and answered. I will march forth into great unknown alone. 
 It is learned very quickly at the very first paragraph of the book that it has been "Seven hundred and thirty-three days" since the mom of our main protagonist- Jessie's -mom died, and it has been "thirty days" since she moved to to California from Chicago. Right away, I know that this book is going to be about moving past grief and continue to live on. Sure enough, after finishing this book, I learned that this book is about moving past grief and head towards the sunlight, but that's not it. it is also about friendships, harder-ships, forgiveness, love, and family. 
 I also really liked the mystery settings of the book . It makes reading this book so much more fun and enjoyable. In the beginning of the book, Jessie received an anonymous email from someone called "Somebody Nobody." This anonymous person , SN, started to send tips to Jessie on how to survive Wood Valley High School, a school that is filled with rich people. At first,d Jessie thought that SN is someone who is pulling a prank on her so that he or she can laugh at her later, but as time goes on, Jessie started to realized that she could in fact, trust SN, and there just might be something more between them. 
 It is mentioned pretty early on in the book that SN is, in fact, a guy. What I found really interesting and fascinating about the book is that in the beginning of the book, when Jessie is still sending emails to SN, there are actually TWO conversations going on the same time. The subject title itself, and the context. It makes it really interesting and funny to read. 
 In the book, we walked with Jessie to figure out who exactly is SN. I am proud to announce that I guessed the right guy from the very begging, which I am actually quite happy about. But to be honest, it is kind of obvious. However, it does kind of really bother you when Jessie can't seem to figure out who SN is, (view spoiler)[especially when you know that SN is right in front of her the entire time. Ethan is Ethan is Ethan is SN, and he's right in front of you the entire time, Jessie~~Neither Liam or Caleb is SN (hide spoiler)] So basically through out the book we were introduced to four different and attractive guys- Ethan, Liam, Caleb, and Theo, and as a reader, it is immediately seen that SN has to be one of those guys, so the list was quickly shorten down. 
 First off, we have Ethan, the "Batman t-shirt" guy that is kind of a loner, who is also Jessie's English assignment partner. Then we have Liam, the typical "boy next door" type of guy, who is also the son of the owner of the bookstore -Book Out Below-where Jessie works at. He is also the lead singer of Wood Valley High School's most popular band, Oville. After that, we got Caleb, the good-looking guy who seems to be always on hie phone. Last, but not least, we have Theo, Jessie's new stepbrother that seems cold at first but actually have a softer side? (view spoiler)[ I must say that I really enjoyed the sibling relationship between Theo and Jessie, especially from the middle of the book when they started to actually have conversations with each other. I was also really touched when Theo stood up for Jessie when Gem tried again to make fun of her and bully her at Habitat for Humanity site. At that moment, I decided that he is one of my favorite characters in this book too. (hide spoiler)] 
 The main message that I got from this book is that don't let what if's stop you from doing things that want to do. Don't worry too much about it, take the chance, maybe a Somebody Nobody will come out of it too. XD 
 SN: you know that piece of hair that always falls into your eyes - the not-quite-a-bang piece? I want to be able to tuck it behind your ear. I want to be able to do that. I want to meet you when I feel comfortable enough with you to do that. 
 "Hello," he says, and reaches up and tucks my hair behind my ears. 
 "Hello," I say. 
 P.S. I also really enjoyed the three things about themselves that they tell each other almost everyday. It is so sweet and unique. Now I totally get why this book is called "Tell Me Three Things." 
 Me: Tell me three things that I don't know about you. You know, besides your name and everything else. 
 SN: Okay. (1) I make an amazeballs grilled cheese. (2) if you met me even a year ago I was a totally different person. (3)... I don't know. may keep this one to myself. 
 Me: Come on. You keep everything to yourself. 
 SN: (3) I like you. 
 ME: (3) I like you too.
