What it’s about (from Goodreads):
Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. The safest place to be is alone, inside her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she let it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smithereens. And then she would have to speak the truth.
Our thoughts:
It's one of those books that make you think, because Melinda could be nearly anyone you encounter.
Speak is really well written and though depressing at times, it's a great story about surviving.
We would recommend this to:
Teens, fans of young adult
