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.

 

  Well where do I start? A young girl called Chelsea wanted to fit in to the crowed like any other typical teenage girl and be seen as special and important to the students at school but everything she lives for known as gossip causes drastic measures to happen to a lot of people surrounding her. Chelsea’s mouth is full of secrets and gossip that soon leads to an innocent boy being badly hurt . Will Chelsea change her ways? …

At the beginning of the story Chelsea and Kristen are featured as the main characters but when trouble occurs Chelsea is soon left to fight her own battles of the hate surrounding her. So when Sam and Asha show support and help Chelsea soon sees a shimmer of light of friendship that is completely different to what she once shared with Kristen. However I loved reading parts that included Sam and Asha as they spoke so much truth and good throughout the book which helped Chelsea realise and understand that she went and reported the incident for a good reason.

Throughout speechless I felt like screaming at Chelsea for not being able to stop the gossip that was spilling out of her mouth like a knocked over water bottle . I also felt sad and extremely sorry towards the events that happened to Noah. When Chelsea visited the hospital for the first time I could feel myself become nervous but also tearing up. I enjoyed reading this book more and more as I carried on reading. I honestly felt disheartened when I saw that I was nearing the end I would more than certainly recommend this book to teenagers and adults!!!
