Whisper To Me

Whisper To Me by Nick Lake, 535 pages

Cass has started hearing voices.  Well, one voice.  The voice says terrible things to her, telling her to do things to hurt herself, threatening to hurt people that she loves, and generally telling her what an awful person she is.  Cass doesn’t have a lot of friends, but this has put a strain on her already rocky relationship with her dad.  When Cass meets a boy that she likes, she doesn’t want to tell him about the voice and, luckily, the voice is quiet when she’s with him.  However, this book is written as a letter to him because something has happened over the summer to break them up and Cass tells us the whole story as she explains to him everything that he didn’t know, including information about her past.  This was an excellent story.  While it is a romance, the romance is secondary to the story of Cass’s voice and the trauma in her life.  This is an excellent book for teens who like realistic fiction that may have a little bit of thriller aspect to it.
