Melinda is raped at a party right before she starts high school and she calls the cops on the party, so no one likes her. No one knows what happened that night either. Melinda tries to deal with what happened by not speaking, but it doesn't work very well and she wants to warn everybody about the guy that did it.
Rape isn't my favorite topic, but I thought this book was okay.
