The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet by Charity Tahmaseb

4.0

A beautiful young adult novel about friendship and developing self confidence.

Jolia's self confidence plummeted when she got braces and was bullied at school. Now that her braces are off, she is still doesn't believe in herself and has a phobia of public speaking. This is causing her to fail the oral presentation section of her classes. The best way for her to pick up her grades is to join the Speech Club.

I found Jolia very relatable, as I also had braces at her age, was bullied and was quite shy. The narrator was well spoken and easy to listen to.

I recieved this book free in exchange for an honest review.
