Quick Review: Speechless by Hannah Harrington

Quick reviews will be for books that I want to share but do not plan to write a full review on.


Blurb:


Everyone knows that Chelsea Knot can't keep a secret


Until now. Because the last secret she shared turned her into a social outcast—and nearly got someone killed.



Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silence—to learn to keep her mouth shut, and to stop hurting anyone else. And if she thinks keeping secrets is hard, not speaking up when she's ignored, ridiculed and even attacked is worse.



But there's strength in silence, and in the new friends who are, shockingly, coming her way—people she never noticed before; a boy she might even fall for. If only her new friends can forgive what she's done. If only she can forgive herself. 

Review:

The reason I picked up this book at first was because of the cover. The simplicity of it drew me in. Once I started reading, it was Hannah Harrington's writing that kept me reading. I loved the characters and the message of the book. I liked that this book tackled relevant issues and in a way that made me stop and think. I wonder if I could do what Chelsea did? Probably not.
