Speak: The Graphic Novel
Laurie Halse Anderson
The modern classic Speak is now a graphic novel. "Speak up for yourself—we want to know what you have to say." From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless—an outcast—because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. Through her work on an art project, she is finally able to face what really happened that night: She was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her.

I don't even have words for how hard this adaption of the book hit. I knew starting it what it was about, what was going to happen as I've read the book and watched the movie before as a Kristen Stewart stan. (Sorry K.S. haters but it's true.) My tears didn't hit until the end of the book but I thought it wouldn't even happen because I knew what every page was going to say.
I loved the artwork as well and spent a good deal of time just studying each page as I read because I didn't want to miss anything in the pages.
