After Olive Sherwood is sexually abused by her best friend, she is plunged into a world of fear and rejection. One day. Her voice simply leaves her. She is too afraid to speak. Instead she communicates through her writing. Feeling alone and abandoned by her busy body father, judging classmates, and the prying eyes of the rest of the world, Olive feels the only person she can trust is her therapist. Through her entire struggle for psychological freedom, she depends on the faith of her therapist, her diary, and of course, herself.

If you wish to find the edited version, please go to my profile and you will find it there :) The original was edited starting August 2020. - - - "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. - - - *different summary inside* COVER: EnsurelComplete
