A different way to see and love life

Dear Charlie,

It's been a while since I haven't posted anything on this blog, probably because I didn't have anything interesting enough to say...

As I was sick for the last two days and then stayed at home I had plenty time to watch movies, sleep, watch TV series, sleep, eat and sleep again (and work obviously!).
When I was about to watch the 149th movie of my sickness time at home, I felt a bit bored (don't know whyyy). I then decided to read a book ! Yes, yes a real book with pages and everything ! I started reading it and just couldn't stop until I finish it.

You should ask yourself what is it called and what is it about ? Then lucky you, this is what I'm going to talk about in this article !

Speak had been written by Laurie Halse Anderson in 1998. A night the author is woken up by a young girl cry, which is in fact only a nightmare but will become the plot of her story.

The book tells the story of Melinda, a teenager who before going to high school lives or undergoes a strange event. After what she can't find her words or can't make them out exactly. She is then left alone and become a pariah. Throughout this book we can follow her battle against fear, reject, herself or her most painful memories.

It has also been made into a movie with a young Kristen Stewart as the main character, Melinda. Trailer (sorry for the bad quality) : 

I really loved this book even if first it seems mostly negative, but which in reality helps to see and love life in a different way.

I hope you will read AND enjoy it !

Bye xxx
