Nina Geiger has a secret she has had with her ever since her mother died when she was 11, but she can't hold the secret in much longer. Life has been full of ups and downs for Nina. She finnaly gets a chance to date her dream guy: Benjamin Passmore the blind but sweet guy but the worst visitor is coming to live in her house. To Nina he's the devil himself. Her uncle, the molester is coming to sleep in her very own house. Read it and find out what happens.

Nina won't tell is an excellent book from the series Making Out, all written by Katherine Applegate.

It deals with 2 separate topics that Nina won't talk about:

1.) Her crush on her sister's ex, Ben. He happens to also be her best friend's brother.
2.) Her uncle molesting her when she was much younger.

With the help of her friends, Nina is able to confront her past and come out ten million times stronger. By the end of this book, you will be so proud of Nina, even though she is a fiction character.

Nina Won't Tell is basically 2 stories about Nina.

One is that Nina loves Ben, Claire's old boyfriend. Nina has loved him for the longest time, but she hasn't got the guts to tell him. She's afraid that if she tells Ben, he won't love her back and she'll be embarrassed and alone.

The other is a deeper problem that Nina experienced while staying with her Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Mark in Minnesota after her mother died. The problem probably wouldn't have come to anyone's attention if her Aunt and Uncle wouldn't have come out to Maine to visit them. Nina lives in fear until the end of the book.

By the end of the book, you'll have laughed, cried, and mentally said, "You go, Nina!" millions of times!

Somebody should have told Christopher, if he is going to play the field. You do not do it on a small island wherer everything is accessible by foot. He should have kept that on the mainland. I was so glad when Nina blew the whistle on her slime ball Uncle, and when she finally told Ben how she really felt. I like Nina and Ben.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! If I had to recommend one book for teenagers to read- and believe me, in the past ten or twelve years I've read just about anything of quality to pass through a bookstore- I'd pick this one. It's FANTASTIC!!!! I don't know what exactly makes it so great, but the stylistic devices used by Katherine Applegate, along with Nina's first-person accounts, make this my complete favorite young adult book of all time, if not my favorite book ever. I've read it at least ten times. So if I can read one book ten times, the least you can do is read it once.

This was such a great book, so were the first two!One thing I do need to say is that Benjamin is definately my favorite character, no doubt. If anyone wants to talk about the books with me, go ahead! I love to hear what other people thought of this very cool book! I wish more people would read her books. She's a really busy lady. She writes the Animorphs books, the Making Out series, and i think it called the Ever World Series. I don't know if she writes anymore than that, but that's a lot right there.Now, lets just talk about "Nina Won't Tell". I think it was very brave of Nina to say something. It wasn't her fault and I'm glad she realized that. Her uncle... well i would like to sy some stuff about him, but I don't think I can because, you know, it's online. lol. Claire should just give up. Jake loves her and Claire loves him. There's only one problem, Wade. And Christopher, my God. I'm not even going to start. I'm glad that Claire and Nina kinda made up. Peace People!

This book should be read by anyone not just girls. It teaches
people that if they are molested or abused it is not their fault
especially if they are kids. They didn't do anything wrong. I would recommend this book to anyone who can read.

Jesus, Nina sure wen't through alot! My blood ran cold when her uncle said they were going to adopt a child! Luckily, Nina spoke up. i would have been afraid to tell. Let's hope what Christopher was doing didn't mean any thing. Anyway, it was great!

I only bought the first book because it looked corny. Itr wasnt that at all! This book is my absolute favorite of the series so far! Nina had a lot of courage in this book. The emotions were realistic. Everything about this book was fantastic! I just cant say enough good things about this series! I can't wait to read the rest! If you haven't read these books yet you are definately missing out on something BIG! These are can't put it down books that leave going crazy until you get your next installment! All I can say are these books (this one in particular) are just fabulous!

I thought this book was really good and intresting. I won't tell you that much about it but I felt like crying when I read some parts of it and the last chapter was such a torture of how it ended, as soon I put it down I ran out and brought the next book to the series, I thought I wouldn't enjoy these books that they were all about sex but I was wrong they really hit home.
