This book was freaking amazing. This is only my second book by Brittainy Cherry, but I'm totally hooked. Her writing is amazing, and her books always bring out the feels in me.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good read!

I’ve already said it: this book changed ny soul and my heart, all the feels in here! I loved it so much it has become one of my all time favorites.
This book ripped my heart out and shoved it back in my chest only to shred it again. And the tears! Each time I thought I had it together my eyes would start leaking again!!
I could not put this down! Such a tragically beautiful story. Wow

“True love meant you could laugh at mistakes. True love meant you could whisper secrets. True love meant you never had to dance alone.”
“Love didn’t come with guidelines. It flowed into a person with only hope as its current.”
“Moments. Humans always remember the moments. We recall steps that lead us to where we were meant to be. The words that inspired or crushed us. The incidents that scarred us and swallowed us whole. I’ve had many moments in my lifetime, moments that changed me, challenged me, moments that scared and engulfed me. However, the biggest ones–most heartbreaking and breathtaking ones–all included her.”
Sometimes there is a story that will take you by surprise and touch your soul in ways that you were not prepared for. The Silent Waters is that book for me. This book has anchored itself into my heart and left me utterly speechless. I am a complete and total loss for words. I would love nothing more than to write a beautiful and profound review for this book. But, if this story has taught me anything, it has taught me that silence can be more powerful than actual words. That it is ok if I can’t find the right words to express the feels running through my mind at this moment. However, I am going to try my best. I am going to try super hard to convey my jumbled thoughts and feelings…
The Silent Waters is beautifully written and will take you on the most unexpected journey. It will grab hold of your heart and keep you breathless, waiting to see how it will all play out. This is another one of those stories that begs you to experience it blind and not spoiled. I promise, promise, promise that the journey will be worth it. Brittiany C. Cherry has delivered a beautiful and unforgettable story about love and the power of your voice.
The Silent Waters is an amazing addition to The Elements Series. This story is beautiful and heartbreaking. The romance, angst and drama is perfectly balanced. This story is very personal and powerful. Even though I’ve never had to suffer in silence, this story has spoken to my heart and left me with tears in my eyes. This story is just incredible and I loved every moment of it.

Cherry zbudowała tą historię w cudowny sposób. Już od pierwszych stron się zakochałam i później przepadłam. Do tego Brooks to facet mogłabym powiedzieć idealny- wspaniały przyjaciel, słuchacz, wsparcie i kochanek.
Trochę się bałam jak autorka wybrnie z dosyć ciężkiego fragmentu fabuły i cóż, nie do końca spodobało mi się to co było później, ale tak... uwielbiam to. Głównych bohaterów poznajemy w momencie gdzie są jeszcze dziećmi, a historia kończy się gdy dobijają powoli do trzydziestki.
Widzimy również jak mocne potrafią być więzi rodzinne i jak wiele znaczy rodzina i co się z nią dzieje, gdy jest poddana ciężkiej próbie. Jeśli ktoś szuka momentami smutnej i uroczej opowieści, to bardzo polecam, jednak lepiej wcześniej sprawdzić czy jest ona dla was, ponieważ za słowem "smutnej" kryje się znacznie więcej.

Fair warning. This review is probably going to suck because there’s nothing I can say that will adequately convey the way The Silent Waters affected me. I admit I was hesitant to read it. I wasn’t sure I was emotionally prepared for a book whose synopsis clearly states that it’s heartbreaking and tragic. However, I have absolutely no regrets about reading this book other than the fact that I’m now left with a massive book hangover.
I’m going to be completely honest. This story wrecked me at times. You may want to have some tissues nearby since there is sorrow, but there are also plenty of moments of laughter, hope, encouragement and, above all, love. I’m telling you this book has all the feels!
My advice to would-be readers is to risk your heart. You will be rewarded with a wonderfully inspirational journey. I can say with utmost certainty that The Silent Waters is one of the most devastatingly poignant books I’ve read this year. I will hold the characters and this story in my heart for a long time.

“The world keeps spinning because your heartbeats exist.”Every single character is so well developed I’d swear they are real people. I felt as if they were my father, my best friend, my sister, and my neighbor. The relationships between all characters—even the seemingly minor ones—are explored to their fullest advantage, making them integral to the entire storyline. I guarantee that you will ship Maggie and Brooks hard. Really hard.

He deserved to be loved out loud, and my love was a whisper in the wind that obviously only he could hear.Brittainy C. Cherry’s writing is superb, and the plot development is so well constructed that its impact sneaks up on you bit by bit. This is definitely my favorite work of hers I’ve read so far.

celui là est bien au dessus des deux premiers c'est bluffant, même si je trouve la fin beaucoup trop rapide, on sent que l'autrice voulait vite terminer l'histoire alors que les 3/4 du livre sont parfaitement rythmés ! c'est dommage car cela minimise sur la fin le traumatisme des deux personnages
This was an amazing read. The story was very emotional and moving. It was how love can let people's voices be heard even when they cannot speak. That is a powerful thing, and the way that Brittainy C. Cherry wrote this story based on a similar experience made me love her writing even more.
Maggie is a sweet girl who lost her voice after seeing something disturbing and does not speak for most of the book. It is through her friendship, and then relationship with Brooks, the boy she has loved since she was 6 years old, that I found herself opening herself up more.
Brooks was a sweet guy. I loved him. He knew what to do and what to say to make Maggie feel good. I thought it was emotional when we got to see a different side of him. I loved him that much. I wish I had a boyfriend like him. He is caring, and knows that not everything that is broken has to be fixed. Sometimes, they just need love and caring.
The ending of their romance was perfection. I could not have ended it any other way. I was happy that they got their HEA. I can't wait to read the final book of the Elementals series. The Gravity of Is, here I come. I am looking forward to more books by Brittainy C. Cherry. Overall, an incredible read.
