ALL THE TRUTH THAT’S IN ME is many things. It is a true romance, a story of desperate yearning and unrequited love. It’s a page-turning mystery full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. But most of all, it’s an empowering drama about a girl’s journey from victim to hero.

Judith can’t speak. Ever since the horrifying trauma that left her best friend dead and Judith without her tongue, she’s been a pariah in her close-knit community of Roswell Station; even her own mother won’t look her in the eye. All Judith can do is silently pour out her thoughts and feelings to the love of her life, the boy who’s owned her heart as long as she can remember – even if he doesn’t know it – her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked by enemies, long-buried secrets come to light . . . and Judith’s world starts to shift on its axis. Before she knows it, Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if what she has to say might change her world, and the lives around her, forever.

All the truth that’s in me by Julie Berry All the truth that’s in me is an excellent two part book written by Julie Berry. It is about a girl called Judith Finch and the book is written from her perspective, almost like a diary. It tells the story of her life, about how she likes a boy in the village and how, after being taken by the same boy’s father, she cannot speak with only half a tongue. It tells of the hardships and unfairness that she is treated with in the village and how she is seen as some kind of monster in the village’s eyes. All together, I would rate this book 4/ 5 because it is a little bit confusing as the author switches through time zones and you don’t always know what Judith is talking about. Also, it is a bit hard to get into in the first half of the book, but after that, it becomes a lot easier to be absorbed. I would recommend this book to 12 and over because it is not only a hard read to 11 and under, but there is also mild swearing and mature themes in a few of the chapters.
