Speechless has been a great book so far. Although I'm not very far into it, there are three distinct parts that stand out to me as the "spot the moment" scenes.
The first one is the part where Chelsea asks Tessa, a girl at a party, a couple of questions about a sneaky relationship with her best friend's boyfriend. Now that Chelsea has answers- and proof- she can black mail Tessa into doing something for her. I'm not far enough in to know why Chelsea needs Tessa, but I have a feeling it'll come back later in the book. What made it a big moment so far, was it really revealed Chelsea's character and that she's not as sweet as she seemed in the beginning. I'm predicting that this may be part of the reason Chelsea takes a vow of silence.
My second "spot the moment" scene is where Chelsea tells everyone about a boy in her grade being gay. As she's narrating the story, she sounds reflective already, which makes me realize that she regrets ever telling anyone about it. Most of the story so far has been Chelsea gossiping and telling other people's secrets. I'm anticipating something bad to happen because of all the rumors she spreads.
The next scene I got goosebumps reading. The boy the Chelsea outed for being gay ended up having to go to the hospital because he was badly beaten. Whatever Chelsea said to those guys at the party must have enticed them to go and beat up Noah.
I'm really excited to see what the rest of the story has to offer and see what Chelsea does in reaction to this news.
