Speechless By: Hannah Harrington

Speechless, is just a few words that come to my mind while i'm reading this book. Not because there is nothing to say about it, by no means is that the case...

 This girl (Chelsea) has a BIG mouth, I don't mean size, I mean that she doesn't keep anything to herself, she has no filter. She soon found out that her "big mouth" can get her in to a lot of trouble and having her close friends turn against her. Since Chelsea knew her mouth got her in this mess the first place she decided to take a vow of silents. (like the monks). She was going to be absolutely silent... She convinced herself that no one would want to hear her side of the story anyway... But how does she know, she doesn't.

I was not expecting this book to be filled with drama. But I was engaged right when I started his book. "keeping secrets isn't my specialty. It never has been, ever since kindergarten when I found out Becky Swanson had a crush on Tommy Barnes... Managed to circulate that fact within our fifteen minute recess".(1)
Reading this book makes me think how I would react in her situation, it would be hard to deal with, it's confusing, why she wouldn't talk and it's kind of  distributing all at the same time.  It makes me want to keep reading to find out what will happen next with Chelsea.
