Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson


Outcast. Melinda Sordino is an outcast. She had called the police during an end of the summer party, now she is hated by all. Her ex-best friends don't talk to her and neither does anyone else. Except IT. IT ruined her life, now she is alone. She is only safe in her head. But being alone with her thoughts isn't safe either, she's trying hard to forget what happened that night. At the party, she was changed. Can her warning on the bathroom stall about guys to stay away from help her save Rachel from the same fate as hers? Will anyone talk to her again? Will she ever have a reason to speak? I really loved this book and finished it on the 2nd day I got it. If something like that happened to me, I'd probably do that same thing as her. Try to forget. A 5 words out of 5 for making me cry. Doesn't take much for me to cry but this book had me bawling.
