Title: Unspoken Secrets Don't Disappear
Product review: SPEAK's narrator Melinda was traumatized by a boy and then later by her classmates."The safest place for Melinda 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 admitted it and let it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smithereens. And then she would have no choice. Melinda would have to speak the truth."Unspoken secrets never disappear; they become more and more powerful.Laurie Halse Anderson created a strong book that would have been stronger had she crafted a messier, more lifelike, ending, but don't let that keep you from reading it. I would recommend it to any teen/young adult or adult.
