And this piece of dirt is the juiciest yet. In the beginning, our heroine, Chelsea Knot, is far from heroic. Holding on will do no one, not even you, any good. Learning to understand that despite all the bad you’ve done, if you are truly sorry, truly let it go. Yet I would say it is really about forgiveness. This novel teaches you to accept people’s differences as well as learning to accept the differences you possess from others. Also, it is about learning not hate others or yourself. Gossip isn’t as harmless as one might think. It makes you consider the value but more importantly the power of words and all you say.


I guarantee that if you read this book, you won’t be able to stop talking about it. I even wrote a poem (an unfinished poem) about this book. I had so many things to say about the heroine and I was questioning who or what the real antagonist was. Speechless is a novel that had me anything but. If only her new friends can forgive what she’s done. And if she thinks keeping secrets is hard, not speaking up when she’s ignored, ridiculed and even attacked is worse.īut 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. Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silence-to learn to keep her mouth shut, and to stop hurting anyone else. Because the last secret she shared turned her into a social outcast-and nearly got someone killed. Everyone knows that Chelsea Knot can’t keep a secret, until now.
