Speak 2

I am over halfway through this book and I still love it! A new character has been introduced. His name is Andy Evans. Melinda is incredibly uncomfortable around him, but he sweet talks her, making her even more uncomfortable. I think that the night she called the cops something really bad happened between her and Andy. I think he may have taken advantage of Melinda's naiveness. Their relationship reminds me of Amy and Ricky's relationship in the show "The Secret Life Of The American Teenager". Ricky does almost the exact same thing that Andy does and Amy acts equally uncomfortable around Ricky as Melinda does around Andy. Another very interesting event happened in the part I read. Melinda's friend ,Heather,dumps her as a friend. She claims they were never friends just because they never had sleepovers. They were very good friends though. Melinda went to Heather's house several times and also helped her with projects and also supported Heather's modeling. Heather probably doesn't want to be Melinda's friend because Melinda is an outcast and Heather wants to be popular.

Speak By Laurie Halse Anderson

I am reading Speak. It isn't the best book to be reading at the beginning of high school but I have been wanting to read it for a while. I heard that there was a really surprising and horrible secret at the end and I have been wanting to know what it is for a long time. I am a little over 40 pages into it and I really like it so far! I really like books with pretty terrible problems or realistic fiction and this book suits both! I think that it is terrible that just because Melinda called the cops at a party, being incredibly responsible, all her friends and the rest of the school hate her. She must have done something else too or something else happened that night because at least a few people, definitely her best friend Rachel, would have understood why she had called the cops. I am really excited to keep reading and to find out what happened!
