Speechless by Hannah Harrington

"Everyone knows that Chelsea Knot can't keep a secret
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." -Goodreads.com

Speechless was differently different then what I've read recently. I've read ones about someone that was silent for most of the book (Like Speak and Silent Storm) but never about someone who purposely decided to become mute. I love in a way that I actually hated the main character but in turn with what happened and her stop speaking made her grow up so much and realize that you shouldn't go and speak without thinking.

4 stars.
