Initial Impressions 7/19/14: 4.5 stars? I think the feels are too fresh. 
 GAHHHHH MY FEELS. How could you do that to me? I get why people needed book two right away. I think I need to because... because... ahhhhh. 
 Okay, so THINGS. I really liked how the book progressed. Sarah Rees Brennan allowed her characters to shape the story and then really drive the plot, and then the plot took over to make things amazing! I LOVED the characters. Kami is fantastic, Jared is yum, and I also really loved Angela and Holly and how they were such a big part of the story. Really great secondary characters all around too. Even the families were so dynamic. 
 Eeeeeeek, the feels at the end. Crap, I need to read the second book ASAP. 
 Full review posted HERE on The Book Addict's Guide 7/31/14: I've been meaning to read Unspoken for quite some time. I actually purchased it based on some great reviews a while back but somehow got pushed to the side time after time until we finally decided to pick it up as a group read for On the Same Page! 
 UNSPOKEN just felt like a me book. I instantly connected with it, I think in part because the characters are just so wonderful. Kami was such a delight. I loved her humor and really every aspect of her character and the detective/reporter side of her personality really allowed her to push the plot along and dig deeper where the more faint of heart would shy away. Kami's interactions with everyone, really, are just fantastic. She's a very dynamic character but so her friends and family and it's so wonderful to see these characters play off of each other and really help each character develop. And Jared... Jared was awesome in a different way. Moody. Broody. Quite the opposite of Kami at times, but they have such a history -- well, their whole lives, really -- that it's wonderful to observe and experience their connection. 
 I think the great thing about UNSPOKEN was that I was never really quite sure what was going to happen. Sure, I had some expectations and I had my guesses but I guess I felt like anything could conceivably happen at any point in time and I loved that there seemed to be endless possibilities when mysteries arose. I had a few twists sneak up on me that I didn't expect. I like to go into books blind and I think I really allowed myself to enjoy this one to its fullest potential by doing that with UNSPOKEN. 
 Everything about the book really just came alive while reading! The secondary characters really helped shape the story and add to the atmosphere with each personality and side story really showing without stealing the spotlight. The setting in the book seemed to come alive as well. There was a definite ambiance and I loved how everything came together to feel incredibly cohesive. Several little questions pop up throughout the book to keep that underlying mystery and sense of wonder (and a little bit of creepiness) running throughout the whole book and even when things are resolved... They're not. I had heard several reactions of surprise surrounding the ending and now I understand why! It definitely made me want to pick up the next book right away!
