I had my suspicions early on, but I will say K definitely did her research.
“I love his whispers.”
Before now, I didn’t know it was possible to feel everything on the scale of human emotion, but here I am doing just that, courtesy of this book. Mind blown, unable to form coherent thoughts, & feeling them fucking ALL. Awestruck. Sweating. Sobbing. Panicking. Swooning. Angry. Speechless. Contemplative.
The first thing you need to know about Whispers and the Roars - it’s one of those books where even the smallest, tinniest detail holds the potential to spoil the whole thing. You need to go in blind, as advised by most reviews echoing the initial advice of the author.
Holy shit balls, was she right and I am so happy I listened & went in without a freaking clue. It did not disappoint, I was *enthralled*, & it was so worth it.
❗️TRUST you do NOT want this book spoiled.
❗️TRUST you CAN’T understand until you read it
… once you get there, ‘the moment of truth’ it’s like a sucker punch to the gut. Unexpected. Painful. Shocking. Just… everything. K Webster you’re a genius. (IYKYK)
Each word was like a small piece of a traumatic, emotional, painful jigsaw puzzle that in the end created a picture that was passionate, unbreakable, & dark but beautiful.
VAGUE Summary
The romance between Kady & Yeo was nothing short of beautiful.
Since meeting as young kids, they’d been in each others lives. In love. Like, true in l-o-v-e, soulmate shit.
Kady’s very much a girl from “the wrong side of the tracks”, where as Yeo, the youngest of a well off family, lived a very different life with different expectations.
Feeling she’d hold him back, Kady urged him to go on with his education & leave her behind. Yeo did as she told him, giving her the space she needed, but never letting her go.
His whole life while he was away had been about her.
How he could help Kady.
How he could bring Kady into his family - who were more than open about their (negative) opinions about her.
In fact, the whole town seemed to look down on or be fearful of her & it didn’t make much sense at ALL. Kady is compassionate, quiet, a bit recluse.
Either way, Yeo doesn’t give AF about anyone else’s opinions, social status, etc. He is devoted AF.
As he moves his life back to his hometown, back to Katie, he works to simultaneously open his own practice, win back Kady, & make sure she has a place in his family. The guy is swoon worthy, really.
And the plot twist. Oh man. And the ending….
Let’s just say I sobbed like a baby & felt so crazy doing so because it was the right ending. BUT STILL. #iykyk
I would die for Yeo & Kady.

“How’d I get so lucky to have you?”
He smirks. “I pretty much forced my way into your life when we were kids, remember? You were too young to realize you’d befriended a stalker.”

To anyone looking to read this novel, bare in mind before you even start, it isn't going to make sense at first. It's not going to be very clear, there's not going to be a straight line from start to happily ever after, and you may catch on faster than I did but up to about half way this book almost makes you want to put it down. Stick it out.
I have so many thoughts still crashing into each other, and to be able to give a review without any spoilers is damn near impossible.
All I can say is, such a thought provoking, intense, harrowing (at times), but beautiful read.
The only reason this is a 4 star read is because I don’t know if I would be able to re-read it, but I am so glad I’ve read it at least once. Thank you, K Webster. The writing was delicate & tender as well as being raw & honest.
Warning:Whispers and the Roars is a dark romance. Strong sexual themes and violence, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. The abuse written in this story is graphic and not glossed over, which could be upsetting to some. This story is NOT for everyone. Proceed with caution.
***THIS STANDALONE IS BEST ENJOYED WHEN YOU DON'T READ ANY REVIEWS OR SPOILERS BEFORE READING. GOING IN BLIND IS BEST. TRUST ME.***

This book was spicy, educating and interesting! The twist truly shocked and the ending was just perfect. Please read the trigger warnings prior to reading.
My first 5 ⭐️ read of the year,
There’s so much I’d like to say and I just can’t. What made this book fantastic was partly following the advice to go in completely blind. I trusted the process and actually guessed a theory that was almost spot on, but it was such a ride. This book was a gift from a friend who found this and enjoyed it so much she needed the rest of us to experience it as well.
This book had me thinking I was crazy and thinking my gut was crazy and reaching, but so very worth it .
