The Silent Waters by Brittainy C. Cherry
5.0
As hard as it is for a reader to pick a favorite book, it is even harder to review a book they truly love. There's always the fear that their review won't do justice to the book. If I could give this book a million stars, I would. This is one of the most beautiful, heartfelt books I've read in a while.
The story begins with Maggie as a child, who is in love with a boy named Brooks. One day, Maggie experiences a very traumatic incident that leaves her unable to speak. The event that causes her to become mute profoundly changes her life and the lives of those around her. The story flows through different timelines, revealing the depth of their journey. And guess what? Maggie is an avid reader, and Brooks, who isn't much of a reader, starts reading and annotating books because of her. And oh ! it is mentioned that Persuasion & Northanger Abbey are the greatest of Austen and yeah, I can't agree more.
I love how beautifully the theme of love—romantic, familial, and platonic—is depicted throughout the story. I won't lie; I actually cried while reading some scenes that were incredibly emotional. I don't have enough words to describe how much I love this book. So, get ready to see more posts about this book on my feed!
