Instead of speaking about a horrific event that happened at a party, Melinda decides to go silent. She carries a dark secret with her as she's snubbed by her ex-friends and peers during the school year. As the book goes on, more details are revealed until the reader figures out exactly what that horrific event was and what happened.
Maybe you've noticed that I've been reading books by Laurie Halse Anderson. I like her writing, but it takes me back to the horrors/social aspects of high school which is not so fun, but real.
A fabulous, well-written, deep read that I think would appeal to just about anyone.
