SPEAK, Rape, and Drunk Parties- the Meaning of Life!

I just read the book SPEAK (I’m a little late on reading it, yes) and it was AWESOME! For a book about rape, it was surprisingly funny. It was witty, intellegent, and connected instantly with me.  I mean, DUH the top lie they tell you in Hi! school is “We want to hear what you have to say”.  Yeah. Um. No. Nobody cares.  Nobody listens.  You won’t get heard unless you SPEAK!!!!!!!!  And this she did- after her rape, she struggles with depression and disaster until she finally find her voice (but I won’t ruin it).  What a sucky life; but a beautiful, amazing book, my 5th fave.  I won’t ruin it, but I will tel you READ IT!
