Eliza and Till don't have many comforts in their young lives. Neither have parents who care or even pay attention to them. Till struggles to keep his brothers out of trouble and together, while Eliza counts down the days until she can get away from the constant arguing of her parents. An abandoned apartment becomes a refuge for both a friendship develops between the girl who draws and the boy who climbs in her window every day. 
 Even when it looks like they might begin to make headway in a relationship outside their self-imposed bubble, that bubble bursts and in an effort to keep reality away for a little longer, they go their separate ways. 
 But these two have more tying them together than their teenage fantasy, and as their ties pull them back together again, Till begins to realize that Eliza isn't running from his stresses and is willing to stand beside him to ease his burden. 
 There was nothing quick or easy about their story. Their lives are full of struggles, and even as they begin to put the past behind them, each lives with the memory of having nothing except the shelter of the fantasy they built together. 
 I loved the addition of Till's brothers to the story. Both as individual characters and in the ways they move this particular story along, I loved the personalities, the shared pasts, and the bits of levity the brothers brought. 
 Fans of Aly's Wrecked and Ruined series will appreciate the influence of Slate and Erica in various aspects of Till and his brothers' lives. 
 The title? Perfect for this whole story. I had that moment while reading where the title just clicked, and I felt it -- Till's emotions, his strength, his fear, and his will to fight something he couldn't avoid but couldn't control. Fighting Silence was such an emotional ride on so many levels. 
 I don't even have words for the end of this book. I absolutely loved everything about Eliza and Till's story, from start to finish. And with the way this book finished, I cannot wait to see what Aly has in store for the next book. Just. No words. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
