Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson



I really liked this book. The whole story is told from the main character, Melinda's point of view. She's an intelligent, witty young woman, that is the victim of, the unspeakable, rape. She has to deal with being an outcast because of her calling the police resulting in the busting of the party where she got raped. The student body pretty much hates her, and she copes through her art and staying quiet. Very simple yet powerful book! 4.5 out of 5 stars. Made into a movie that I would love to see.
