What I Couldn't Tell You by Faye Bird
When love turns to jealousy, when jealousy turns to rage, when rage turns to destruction... Laura was head over heels in love with Joe. But now Laura lies in a coma and Joe has gone missing. Was he the one who attacked her? Laura's sister Tessie is selectively mute. She can't talk but she can listen. And as people tell her their secrets, she thinks she's getting close to understanding what happened on that fateful night.
An enjoyable and intriguing read that grips you from the beginning* Laura’s Little Book Blog *
An 'unputdownable' mystery, in which we race the narrator to solve the crime - and a character with selective mutism is included without sensationalism or clichés. * Scottish Booktrust *
Faye Bird has achieved a remarkable thing here, she has managed to deliver to the reader a very detailed understanding of the life of a SM young person, without ever being patronising... YA readers will find a great deal to identify with in the twisting and turning sub-plots. * Awfully Big Reviews *
I couldn’t put this book down and just found it majorly interesting. * The Book Moo *
I strongly recommend this book and I’d love to read more by Faye Bird in future. * YA Under My Skin *
