I was greatly disappointed in this book - it failed me in so many areas: flat, one-dimensional characters, unlikable protagonist, thin plot, predictable outcome. It was so stereotypical and derivative in so many of its observations of high school and teenage life.
I was 50 pages in when I remembered that I saw movie years ago starring Kristen Stewart as Melinda. (Good movie by the way.) This is about one of those socially awkward high school experiences where a girl is teased and hated because she called the cops to break up an underage drinking party. Nobody...

When she talks blah blah, I usually count the dots in her ceiling tiles. The above quote isn't the funniest in Speak, a book full of wit des...
At the risk of sounding unfair, I have to say I wish I’d read this before I read Wintergirls. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good book.
