Most new freshman girls would love to walk in to their new high school with a super hot senior on their arm. But not in this case... In the book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, Melinda Sordino wants to just forget about her nightmare with her night with a senior. So this is what happened. Went to the party. Got Drunk. Hooked up with a senior. Was Raped. Called the cops. Ruined the Party. Ran. Starts school with no friends. Silent!

As she struggles with this huge weight on her, she build up enough courage to speak, but to save an old friend from the night mare that was coming. Once people realized what really happened, she decides to tell her family, teachers and her self.

I enjoyed this book because it was not some fairy tale. It's Somthing that could happen in real life. And this is something that many girls unfourntaly faced. And she built enough courage to stand up and speak. And im not sure if I could ever do that.
