Where do I begin? I have to sit back and think of words but nothing came out. I'm stunned and still nursing a book hangover. Goddamn it. The Silent Waters is so beautiful I shed sad and happy tears it became my instant favorite. For me, this is by far Brittainy Cherry's best book she'd written. She told the story gradually but surely engaging because it begins from their childhood up to adulthood. The character and relationship developments are exceptional. I guarantee you'll fall in love with Maggie May Riley and Brooks Tyler Griffin.
