The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink – Review by Liz Vrchota

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy buckets batman…. This book will kill your emotions, rip out your heart, and then ever so slowly begin to put you back together. I will say I kinda knew what I was getting into with the blurb, that it was going to be difficult and hard to read with the subject of center being domestic violence. I hate to admit it to this day but I have been here and I have friends who have been put in the hospital and through literal hell to find their way to freedom again. This is never an easy topic to read about or talk about, but it is one that needs to be more prevalent. We need more novels like this one to show the women in the struggle, or men, that they are not alone and there is light to be found at the end of the tunnel. This book does a very good job of approaching these subjects with care, research, and class. I could tell Dakota Willink places this subject close to her heart and it showed in the way this book came out. I was so moved by her author’s note chapter that I found myself tearing up there too. This book will wreck you like I said, but it is so worth every moment and you will remember it long after you finish reading it. I look forward to seeing what else is available from Dakota Willink as she is a new author to me and this was my first experience reading her stuff so I am sure it will be something worth investing in soon.
