Popular Chelsea Knot loves to gossip. She can never keep a secret for very long. But when she tells a secret that almost gets a classmate killed and two others sent to jail she takes a vow of silence to avoid hurting anyone else. Returning to school after the New Year’s holiday, Chelsea is met with zero friends and an onslaught of bullying to fight against. She continues to stand by her silence even when it would be far easier to fight back with words. It’s important to Chelsea to now think before she speaks and so chooses to write to communicate. This coming-of-age, page-turner provided so many lessons but never felt preachy, it simply told Chelsea’s story as a high school student grappling with bullying and learning to stand up for herself.
