I really enjoyed seeing Chelsea's journey throughout the novel, but she starts off as pretty terrible. It's hard to stay silent when constantly attacked, but she makes some surprising new friends and finds out about who she is and who she wants to be.Speechless is a good contemporary teen book about making mistakes and having the courage to do what you like and be yourself. Chelsea takes a vow of silence because she hurt so many people with her words. Her classmates either hate her for telling the secret in the first place and generally being a blabbermouth or for getting star athletes arrested. She tells the police and the guilty party is in the process of being punished, but Chelsea now faces ridicule and hate at every turn. Some guys take it upon themselves to attack the person involved as a result. During a party, Chelsea sees something shocking and immediately tells the popular crowd. Automatically cool and popular by association, Chelsea takes full advantage of her status and tries to keep Kristen happy even if it means belittling herself a bit. She's cute and best friends with one of the most popular girls in school, Kristen.
