Jumped from 3 to 4 stars at the end because it made me cry. This was an interesting read, in the sense that we knew what the main character, Oakley, was feeling and thinking and others didn't. But Cole won me over from the start by telling her it was fine if she never talked again, as far as he was concerned. He loved her regardless. The reason why she stopped talking wasn't explained until the end (although you had some idea of what happened) and it was very sad, and made even more heartbreaking by the circumstances, but I'm glad she finally talked about what happened. The ending though... Geesh, talk about abrupt and confusing.
