Megan doesn't speak. She hasn't spoken in months.
Pushing away the people she cares about is just a small price to pay. Because there are things locked inside Megan's head - things that are screaming to be heard - that she cannot, must not, let out.

Then Jasmine starts at school: bubbly, beautiful, talkative Jasmine. And for reasons Megan can't quite understand, life starts to look a bit brighter.

Megan would love to speak again, and it seems like Jasmine might be the answer. But if she finds her voice, will she lose everything else?

Picked this book up on a total whim, it just seemed different. A story about a girl, Megan, who doesn't speak. She can't, hasnt' for months because of some crazy secret thats taken everything away from her. I wanted to know why Megan couldnt speak, what happened, to cause this?

So, Megan doesn't speak, something happened months ago that halted it. She wants to, really wants to talk, to have someone to confind in. She only has her friend Luke,who share a mutual understanding, a bond thats pretty unbreakable since this 'mystery' thing happened. Then along comes Jasmine, she's new and total opposite to Megan. She talks, she's bubbly, she's not interested in being with the popular kids. They become firm friends, one talks, the other listens. Until bad stuff starts happening to Jasmine. Why would someone wish to hurt the new girl?

A book about the tests of friendships, about love, about falling for your new best friend. Megan & Jasmine make the cutest couple and i enjoyed reading Megans turmoil trying to figure out what was going on and how to portray everything with the power of speach taken away.

There is more to this book that Megan not speaking, theres the typical teenager-y stuff but with a darker undertone throughout. I was dying to find  why Megan stopped speaking and although the ending was good, it seemed a little untrue for who it was. I was sure it was Lindsey being the cow! But i guess this also proves, judgement in certain situations can be clouded and everyone blames themselves for things.

This book is addictive. It wants to be read, I did it in under 24 hours and I didn't want it to end. I recommend it to everyone. Really its great.
