SPOILERS. THERE ARE SPOILERS. MANY SPOILERS OK YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. 
 So, I think the concept of the book was really really good. I liked a lot of things, but I would first like to introduce everyone to the problems I had with it first: 
 1. Her not talking. Love the concept, think it was a surprise when it was revealed because I didn't even suspect. I understand not being able to talk, but past a certain point when she would talk to Drew and Josh, it was like a game that she talked to them but no one else, and that made me angry. She's got all these issues, and she can't talk because she doesn't want to have to lie, but she has to much trouble not talking and generally always was talking what she wish she could say that it was almost childish. 
 2. Kevin Leonard has no repercussions for what he did to her at this party!! 
 3. Why did she dress the way she did again? She says people will look anyway, so it's to deflect attention? She dresses in a way that will get everyone's attention.....to deflect their attention from the fact that she doesn't talk and she's all brooding and intimidating. I just...didn't see the point. 
 4. Mrs. Leighton seems oddly attached to Nastya. Like this girl shows up to your FAMILY dinners every weekend, and she dresses like a whore and in all black and she doesn't SPEAK TO ANYONE. And she just listens to everyone's conversations without contributing and looking generally unapproachable for the entire book, and Mrs. Leighton's just like......"Well she has manners cuz she brings us desserts guyssssss" I just..... 
 5. The names. At some points in the book I liked the name thing. She liked names, that's cool. But why does EVERYONE'S NAME MATCH UP PERFECTLY WITH THEIR PERSONALITY. Like Josh means salvation and Sarah means princess and Drew means Masculine. Alright does that just seem a LITTLE BIT TOO COINCIDENTAL. Also she changes her name so Nastya Kashnikov because her attacker called her a Russian whore? After this was revealed I spent the rest of the book trying to figure out WHY. And why would her parents just be like, okay Emilia, change your names to Nastya Kashnikov for reasons that aren't apparent to us. 
 So yes, those were my largest concerns. All in all though, I did like the book. I liked the relationship between Nastya and Drew. And I liked the relationship between Nastya and Josh. I feel like her finally talking to him was a bit abrupt and uncalled for, but I really didn't think that was the case for their actual relationship and I liked that. I also liked that Nastya left to work on herself and her problems before she went back to Josh, because I felt it was definitely necessary and it was realistic. 
 I also loved the sea of tranquility thing at the end, and Josh's grandfather's thing with the brick house and then Nastya saying she saw Josh's garage when she died. I really liked that even if it wasn't realistic and a little cheesy. I like how that's what ended the book. I remember being totally confused when she first shows up at Josh's house and says that she remembers it, but it clicked at the end. 
 All in all, I liked the book, but those little problems I have with it keep me at a three star
