review 1: Words Unspoken by Elizabeth Musser is the story of a nineteen-year-old girl struggling to overcome her mother’s tragic death. Eighteen months earlier, Lissa Randall and her mother were driving on the highway when a freak hail storm showered down on them. Lissa skidded and stopped the car safely, but when her mother got out to switch drivers, she was struck down by another car. Lissa feels like a failure and at fault for her mother’s death. She searches for a way to overcome her grief and deal with her father’s attitude toward her. The book follows her journey trying to get in the driver’s seat again and get her license so she can have a renewed sense of freedom from her father, feelings of failure, and self-doubt.But this book is not just about Lissa. It’s about ... moreseveral other characters as well. Two sisters, an older husband and wife who run a driving school, a hot-shot stock broker, and a young publisher’s assistant who is looking to get to the top. By the end of the book you understand why all these characters are involved, but for the first half or a little more you sit wondering why you’re reading about all these characters when really it’s Lissa’s story you want to hear. You may not understand why you are meeting all these new characters or why you should care about their story, but as you continue to read you will begin to realize how they all relate to each other.This is an interesting read and I recommend it highly.
review 2: I had a hard time getting into this book because there were so many characters and so many different little stories. She would write about one thing for a few paragraphs, then jump to the other one. When I finally stopped trying to remember everything from each snippet, then it got more interesting. Then the stories merged into two stories, then finally moved into one. It was nice to have all the background from all the characters. Made for a very nice read in the end. less
