Usually when I read mystery or suspense novels, I can figure them out a few chapters in. However, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. I finished it in one day, just because I wanted to know what happened.

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!
