Rosie’s Diner is probably my favorite part of the book. While at times the story got a tad preachy about bullying and homosexuality, her new friends, romance, and job at Rosie’s Diner keeps the story full of life and laughter. However, after all those “friends” turn on her for revealing to the police who perpetuated a hate crime, she finally finds her strength.ĭuring her month of silence, she begins growing up and actually stands up for herself and others-all the while maintaining her vow of silence, a rather impressive feat coming from the once weak-hearted Chelsea. She was weak and shallow, allowing her homophobic “friends” to bully kids though she silently disapproved. In the beginning of the book, Chelsea’s character isn’t all that likeable. As punishment for the harm she caused someone she forces herself to take a vow of silence, which isn’t easy for anyone, let alone a girl in need of approval.
In Speechless that wonderful event finally occurs when Chelsea Knot, the all-time gossiper, shuts her mouth entirely after she spills a big secret. You know that really annoying person who can’t keep a secret to save her life? You ever want her to just shut up?
