But, I'm not going to do this for Speechless. Normally, this would be the part in my review where I'd write my own little synopsis explaining what the book is about. ![]() And let me just take a moment to say, that I'm so happy I took the chance and requested this on NetGalley. It wasn't until I saw glowing four and five star reviews for this book from trusted friends of mine that I decided to request this on NetGalley and see if I would end up liking it. However, based on the vague synopsis, I came to the conclusion that this book most likely wasn't for me, and decided to pass on it. The main reason I checked out Speechless was because of its cover: a cover without a pretty girl in a pretty dress on the it, a cover without a pretty girl about to kiss an equally as pretty boy on the it. ![]() ![]() **2/9/13 - raised rating from four stars to five, because this was perfect and I honestly couldn't care less about the few negatives mentioned below, because I still think about this book to this day, and if I were to ever reread a book soon, it'd undoubtedly be this one. ![]() |
