What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

A YA romance book about a teenager or in 20s girl who chooses to be mute after SPOILER….
She is a witness to a murder and is afraid of killer
Sent to a psychiatric hospital or ward where she finds connection with a worker or doctor
He helps her through trauma and fall in love
She also make friends with other patients
Think she was sent there to get her to speak and give evidence and convict the…. SPOILER…..murder

It sounds more like NA or adult if the love interest is a grown man and she's over 18.

Could be yes, I can’t remember her age. 17 probably the safest bet
But it’s a pretty mild age gap - and nothing happens between them until she leaves
And I know it’s a ward with other teenagers

Not all the details match, I don't think, but maybe Come Closer by Brenda Rothert?

There is a selectively mute FMC, living at a residential psychiatric hospital after witnessing a murder, and the MMC is her doctor.

Oh my goodness yes that’s it!! Thank you! It’s been bugging me for ages. Also the FMC is 27 🤣 whoops

Happy I could help!
