This book tells the tale of an adolescent woman dealing with trauma and looses her voice because of it. The mystery of what could possible cause her silence keeps you turning the pages without wanting to put the book down.

Oakley hasn't used her voice for 11 years, too scared to speak for fear of exposing a secret from the past that would tear her world apart. I reread this book because I read it when I was 11 or 12 and I don't think I understood properly the issues and atrocities Oakley had to face. The end is truly heartbreaking, especially the fact her mum and brother had to find out what happened. Though I must say that it being set in England is strange since the school system used was not the actual system, and that removed authenticity. I did love the relationship between Oakley and Cole, it was so genuine, and a good teen romance. The book was a bit rushed but it was still enjoyable. I would recommend this book, but with very heavy content warnings.
