Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson
5.0

Sometimes you just need to read an adaptation of a movie you like where others see a rapist for what he is, agree on a list, and catch him in the act. I know that's not the crux of the story, but that's the revenge (validation? Closure?) a lot of us never get.

Tge graphic novel makes me feel raw but is still healing, just like the movie. I haven't dared read the original book yet.
Anyway, I read this in one sitting during a heatwave at 2am. I needed it.
