Why read it?

1 author picked Speechless as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Another reason I love Pride & Prejudice variations is that the circumstances change, and we get to see the main characters struggle in other ways than the original story.

The thing about this story that makes it so compelling are the humorous moments that entwine with the angst and pain.
