Silence

Natasha Preston — 2012

For eleven years, Oakley Farrell has been silent. At the age of five, she stopped talking, and no one seems to know why. Refusing to communicate beyond a few physical actions, Oakley remains in her own little world. Bullied at school, she has just one friend, Cole Benson. Cole stands by her, refusing to believe that she is not perfect the way she is. Over the years, they have developed their own version of a normal friendship. However, will it still work as they start to grow even closer? When Oakley is forced to face someone from her past, can she hold her secret in any longer?

Honestly it wasn't that great and the ending honestly killed it. It felt rush and everything didn't really flow together. And I'm probably not going to be picking up the second book.

Cole and Oakley are so cute and I love the fact he still loves her even though she stopped speaking. Jasper is hilarious though omg (minis the womanising) but I need to read the next book because I want to know what happens when Oakley comes back. The ending was so fast though, like really out of the blue. Julian was a bum but I want to know more about him because he confuses me! I really liked this book a lot and I do understand though why some people hated it because it seemed unrealistic that she would stop talking completely for 11 year but it was still a great read and I feel like Oakley was a strong girl.
