Silence by Natasha Preston

Description on Goodreads:

For eleven years, Oakley Farrell has been silent. At the age of five, she stopped talking, and no one seems to know why. Refusing to communicate beyond a few physical actions, Oakley remains in her own little world. 

Bullied at school, she has just one friend, Cole Benson. Cole stands by her, refusing to believe that she is not perfect the way she is. Over the years, they have developed their own version of a normal friendship. However, will it still work as they start to grow even closer? 

When Oakley is forced to face someone from her past, can she hold her secret in any longer?

Once again another completely FREE book for your Kindle! Also, another easy read (for me anyways).  
If you are looking for a full on love story, that'll remind you of every butterfly you felt in your teen years, I'd definitely download it. But, along with that love you will also have the intense feeling of suspense "Is she going to talk now?! No. Now?!", the feeling of mystery in trying to put the pieces together as to why she won't talk, and heartbreak when you find out.  It is only 206 pages, it took me about 4 1/2 hours to read and had me feigning to turn to the next page at ALMOST every moment. 

The next in the series is called Broken Silence and cannot wait to start on it! (As soon as this readers block subsides!) 


----------------Spoiler Alert------------
This is a good book! I do have a couple of questions for anyone that has read this book though. 

1. Why did she stop talking when she was 5 if she didn't get raped for the 1st time until she was 13?

2. The reason she started going on the fishing trips with her father was because Jackson refused to go anymore. Why did he refuse to go anymore, was the same thing happening to him?
