Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

This book was definitely not one of my favorite books that i have read this year. It was not a terrible plot but i did not find it to be very interesting. I am not completely finished with the book yet but i am a couple of chapters away and the book so far has not interested me. It is about a high school girl named Melinda Sordino. Melinda busted all of her friends by calling the police on a party. Once school starts Melinda has a very tough time. None of her old friends will even look at her, the entire school hates her. She hates going to school everyday and being ignored by everyone. To say the least, Melinda regrets what she did over the summer but knows their is not going back at this point. But their is something that Melinda is hiding from everyone, a secret about what actually happened the night of the party. The one thing i do like about the book is that it is suspenseful and this keeps me reading. Although it wasnt my favorite book, i would recommend to people who enjoy suspenseful books.
