What is the book "Speak" about?

It was about a girl who was raped at a party, so she called the police, but she never told anyone why; everyone at the party was arrested, so she was instantly rejected by four grades of students. Good book, but emo, miserable, cry-making . . .
 
Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. The safest place to be is alone, inside her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she let it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smithereens. And then she would have to speak the truth.

this is the book summary. hope it helped. :)

Unfortuneately, i can't explain it without making it seem boring, stereotypical, and i'd have to give away the climax.
i shall quote the book cover
"she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops...old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't know glare at her. ...But it's not so comfortable inside her head either- there's something banging around in their that she doesn't want to think about."
etc., etc.
 
a girl who is hated in school because she called the cops at a party and she really did it because she was raped but no one knows that except her
 
It's about a young girl who was raped outside a party, and she called the police, which ruined the party, but she couldn't tell anyone why she called the police, so they all hated her for it. She pretty much stopped talking at school, so everyone thought she was weird, but as the book goes on she finds the courage to speak out.
