It's a good book. Every chapter leaves you with a cliffhanger and you can't put it down. But for me the mystery was predictable and so I felt a bit disappointed at the end. The plot is excellent, though.

I loved this book. I loved the way the chapters were presented featuring each character and thier version of the event that is being described.

This is the story of a young girl who stops talking for no apparent reason. She is able to communicate with friends and family quite well, but does not talk. As the story unfolds through a series of traumatic events we come to understand why Calli stopped talking and what it took to make her able to speak again.

This is a wonderful book and the second book by this author and i will be looking for more. I highly recommend Heather Gudenkauf!

Interesting story, but poorly written and the characters do the dumbest things. The mom never asked what Griff said to Calli? And it happened on the night she was shoved down the stairs, but she never realized that was the reason she didn’t talk? Ummm...okay.
