Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared from their small town, Roswell Sation. Two years later, only Judith returned, her tongue cut out -- she can't speak and is reviled and ignored by her family and friends. But when her close-knit community of Roswell Station is attacked by enemies, Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice...

All the Truth That's in Me

Judith can't speak. Ever since the horrifying trauma that left her best friend dead and Judith without a tongue, she's been a pariah in her community; even her own mother can't look her in the eye. When her community is attacked, Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence or recover her voice, even if what she has to say might change things forever.

I am kicking myself mentally for having this book on my shelf for so many years collecting dust and never reading it. I randomly picked it up last night and have been reading it with no sleep, food and literally abandoning all my chores. 

I’d give this book a 10/5. 

The first few chapters confused me slightly as it jumped from past to present quite a bit but once you get pass that it’s gripping. 

There’s murder, mystery, romance all entwined but presented so well. It’s one of those books that lingers in your mind days after you finish.

ALL THE TRUTH THAT'S IN ME is many things. It is a true romance, a story of desperate yearning and unrequited love. It's a page-turning mystery full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. But most of all, it's an empowering drama about a girl's journey from victim to hero. Judith can't speak. Ever since the horrifying trauma that left her best friend dead and Judith without her tongue, she's been a pariah in her close-knit community of Roswell Station; even her own mother won't look her in the eye. All Judith can do is silently pour out her thoughts and feelings to the love of her life, the boy who's owned her heart as long as she can remember - even if he doesn't know it - her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked by enemies, long-buried secrets come to light . . . and Judith's world starts to shift on its axis. Before she knows it, Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if what she has to say might change her world, and the lives around her, forever.

** spoiler alert **
           At first I had my doubts about this book, but when I began to find out more about Judith, I was really dragged into the story. I found it pretty impressive how I didn't quite see it coming that Lucas' dad didn't kill Lottie, because I read quite a lot of detectives. 

So, despite the slow start, this was a stunning story. I like girls who DO tell tales ;-)
