Chelsea Knot is your "typical teenage girl" with all the perks that come along with that title. That is until something devastating happens because of a secret that she failed to keep. This events sends Chelsea through a spiral of emotions and she is left reeling. She decides to take on a vow of silence in response to this devastation and in turn goes on a journey of finding herself and others.
I think this is the most realistic feeling young adult contemporary that I've ever read. Chelsea is relatable and acts the way a real life teen might. This beautiful story is full of heart and over-flowing with emotion. It's a coming- of-age story that perfect for women of all ages.
SPEECHLESS is a beautiful story about love, friendships and the lessons learned in adolescence. It's a new modern classic. One you have to read to believe.
Hannah Harrington is an outstanding author who is just on a roll with her young adult contemporary books. I will absolutely be anxiously awaiting her next book!
Everyone knows that Chelsea Knot can't keep a secret
Until now. Because the last secret she shared turned her
into a social outcastβand nearly got someone killed.
Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silenceβto 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 wayβpeople 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.
