Whispers and the Roars by K. Webster
5.0
“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.”
