***** 5 'Silent Moments' Stars ***** 
 A complete standalone 
 "The world keeps spinning because your heartbeats exist." 
 Oh... My.... get ready for some tears. This book made me so emotional. Brittainy C. Cherry seriously knows how to write a moving story. 
 When Maggie was a child, she was talkative, optimistic, and innocent. She had plans. Plans that involved marrying Brooks. 
 The kids were going to meet in the woods for their wedding. Unfortunately, Maggie runs into something traumatizing. This event changes her life, and she losses her voice. 
 Even though Maggie doesn't speak, Brooks knows how to listen to her. He is the sweetest boy, and his actions will make your heart explode. His dreams involve becoming a professional musician, but his heart is forever connected to Maggie. 
 I love how this story takes place throughout their childhood, teenage years, and adulthood. They have so many challenges. Their struggles spread to their family and best friends. Everything about this book just touches my heart. This is definitely one of my favorites this year.
