Sinossi
"Parla. Siamo qui per ascoltarti." Melinda sa che questa è una delle tante bugie che ti raccontano al liceo. Perché nessuno vuole ascoltare quello che hai da dire. Soprattutto se non riesci a esprimerlo, se fai fatica a trovare le parole. Colpevole di aver rovinato una festa chiamando la polizia, Melinda non ha più amici e viene maltrattata a scuola. Nessuno la saluta, figuriamoci ascoltarla per capire cosa è successo veramente quella sera. Eppure Melinda troverà la forza per affrontare una violenza inconfessabile, subita nell'estate dei suoi tredici anni. E finalmente avrà il coraggio di parlare.

TW: Illustrations of self-harm, rape, depression This graphic novel version of Speak is absolutely incredible. The graphics are triggering and jarring, I felt it was quite bold to illustrate scenes of rape and self harm and it rather shocked me to see that, especially in a YA novel. But it was also
4 stars! I read this based on a recommendation from a coworker and I really enjoyed it. Speak was a book that came out when I was in middle school and I remember reading and loving it at the time. So much so I even have the movie with Kristen Stewart on DVD. Hardcore, I know LOL. So 15ish years late Leggi tutto
reading vlog: https://youtu.be/AXpfik6Q72g Um, the illustration is ✨STUNNING✨ Emily Carroll does not MISS. The story, while important, it slow and meandering. It creeps along and gets confusing and contradicts itself at times.
CW- rape, depression, self-harm, toxic friends, bullying, isolation. Nobody really wants to hear what you have to say. Melinda is an outcast at her high school. She has no friends until she meets the new girl from Ohio, Heather, and they sort of become friends. Melinda doesn't really speak to anyone i Leggi tutto
