Colored characters that it introduces It is a colorful story because of the multitudinous hues of emotions that a reader gets to see and experience throughout the whole book Reds for the injustice and cruelty that these kids go through before and even after getting sucked in the system Greens for the little victories that they get to have when they finally luck out Blues for their grief and sorrow and the way life just robbed them of their innocence and childhood Pinks for the moments they get to feel love every once in a while And then there are yellows to signify warm rays of light and hope and the chance of a better future.

Silent is not an easy read and I have struggled with actually writing this review The story is amazing and real and gritty There s not a lot of happy to be found for a while but it really was true to the circumstances I didn t feel like the author glossed over things to make them palatable at all and that gave the story a vivid and very real feel. Silent art Alex s life is not good Living in poverty is bad enough but his mom s boyfriend Hector is an abusive asshole and his mom is a rather apathetic parent at best She doesn t appear to actually care about Alex or his well being at all Her only concern is that Hector doesn t leave her She turns a blind eye to the abuse her child suffers at the hands of Hector and seems to place the blame with her child instead of the tyrant. Silent hill 4 So Alex is a very angry young man He doesn t trust anyone and feels like he can only rely on himself Teachers have long noticed the fact that he doesn t seem to have the most basic of things like shoes that fit for instance and they ve also noticed signs of possible abuse But it isn t until Alex comes to school with a burn that he does a bad job of lying about that the school gets social services involved. Silent caliber tarkov Alex gets sent to a group home while social services attempt to locate his mom but Alex is convinced that he will shortly get to go back to his crappy life as soon as his mom and Hector get back the devil you know He s got attitude problems and is an asshole to everyone that will put up with it so he doesn t make many friends at first The only person he manages to talk to civilly is Sebastian and that s only because Sebastian can t talk so Alex along with pretty much everyone else makes several assumptions that Seb also is retarded and can t really understand him anyway So Alex confesses his deepest darkest secrets not realizing at first that he s actually found a friend. Silent patient kindle download But here s the thing Sebastian is so much than he seems His life has never exactly been a bed of roses thorns maybe but no Just when Alex is finally settling into his new life at the group home and Alex is starting to see Seb as than just a friend and that he is than he seems a fire destroys everything he hoped for and they are torn apart And reading about what it took to get reunited with Sebastian and stay together really took a lot of resolve Alex s sister is in a really bad situation and she has a five year old daughter His sister is a prostitute and her pimp is around her kid a lot and uses drugs in front of her This part of the story just about killed me And I feared for everyone at that point. Book silent child Though their journey is so hard and they have to make some very difficult decisions Alex and Seb do prevail and watching them come into their own was a beautiful thing I was left with a feeling of hope when I finished this book as well as a huge book hangover. Silent book club amsterdam Very highly recommended 383 What struck me most about Silent written by Sara Alva is the honesty of Seb and Alex s story It isn t pretty you might get angry many many times and sad many many times But just like with anything there are some bright moments to balance all of that darkness For me it s essential young adult reading and despite reading hundreds of young adult books I still feel this one stands out especially in the m m genre. Silent extractor fan Alex doesn t have a supportive family his sister is working on the streets with her drug addicted boyfriend and his neice has a bed ridden with bed bugs Seb is a mute teenager often mistaken for something he s not and the two meet in an unexpected place where nothing such as true friendship and love feels like it could foster. Ebook sintaksis There are a lot of moments in this book There are a lot of characters in Silent In another book this could feel distracting or kitchen sink feeling but this all felt natural Two teenagers and the people they meet along the way in this coming of age journey across Los Angeles There are misfits counselers halfway homes prostitutes forgotten and abandoned children people who feel trapped in their situation moments of happiness on a beach thieves worn out shoes and the way people surprise you or let you down or give you hope. Silenta musicsafe pro The best part of this book for me though is the friendship and eventual relationship between Alex and Seb Two teenagers on the fringes of society so to speak for very very different reasons Two people who probably would otherwise never met never given the other a chance and never had the either completely change their lives They are devoted scared brave funny they are KIDS Just babies really but I loved them. Silent lies So happy that the m m young adult world has something this honest and awesome for readers out there 383 I thought Sara Alva s Social Skills was one of the best stories I d read in a long time but her latest release Silent is in an entirely different category As I was reading this gripping story I felt intensely disappointed that the gay fiction genre is so small A story as beautifully written and well crafted as this deserves mainstream distribution Though we often see reviews where the reader lauds the book as being a riveting page turner I can assure you it is without hyperbole that I sing this story s praises In fact I almost don t know where to begin. Silent sisters kindle Let me share a quote from the book a single line that hit me like a gut punch I tried not to think about all the horrible things that could happen to a little boy when no one could hear him scream. Kindle paperwhite 10th generation audible Silent is the emotional story about this incredible foster kid named Alejandro He prefers to be called Alex and in the beginning he s facing a dilemma He s fifteen and he s outgrown his shoes His mother will not buy him new ones and his mother s abusive boyfriend Hector hates him Alex takes matters into his own hands and steals some of Hector s weed then sells it on the street and uses the money for new shoes When Hector discovers what Alex has done he uses a lighter to burn Alex s arm right after torching the new shoes The injury is severe and when a teacher at school discovers it it sets in motion a chain of events that drastically change Alex s life. Silent caliber tarkov He s taken into protective custody and placed in a foster home Now at this point in the story about 20% into the book I was ready to hurl my Kindle against the wall I didn t like the social worker and I hated the foster parents I couldn t believe how callous and unsympathetic they were to Alex after what he d been through Actually I still sort of feel this way at least about the foster parents On the other hand I think they did care about the boys they fostered and did the best they knew how. Silent e book printable The beauty within that environment wasn t so much the relationship any of those kids had with those foster parents though It was the relationship they developed with each other They became a loving family perhaps less dysfunctional than many conventional families And it is at this point that the story really grabbed hold of my heart. Silentcare Alex becomes friends with one of his foster brothers a boy his age named Sebastian Seb is mute and everyone assumes he is mentally handicapped Oddly enough Alex bonds with him and they become close They become VERY close as Alex begins to discover a Seb that no one else knows exists Alex learns to communicate with Seb and he uncovers some secrets within Seb s past that are startlingand unbelievable. Silent eight There is so much to this book than what I ve shared in this review It s an epic story that at times made me laugh It also infuriated me at points and even made me cry Silent is a book I really don t want to remain silent about it It s one of those books that is going to stay with me a long long time and it very well may remain one of the best books I ve read in my lifetime 383 4 stars This was a hard and heartbreaking story to read. Ebook sintaksis I wanted to shake Alex so many times and ask him what the actual fuck are you doing Why don t you give yourself a chance It represents the power of love beautifully though 383 Alex is a great main character a fifteen year old boy who lives with his mother and her violent boyfriend He s barely getting by stealing weed from the boyfriend to sell for a bit of cash and trying to keep his head down But his life changes when events come together to land him in foster care Alex struggles in the group home he s placed in dealing with missing his mom resenting his situation mentoring the younger boys and hiding his unwanted attraction to the older ones. Silent disco groningen In this mix the quiet mute guy Seb is an oasis of sorts Someone whom Alex can talk to without anxiety and without expectations At first Alex believes the general perception of Seb as both unresponsive and unable to understand But slowly he comes to realize there is far to Seb lurking under the mute surface And when a fire in the home forces them apart Alex discovers he s come to care enough about Seb that he will not let them be separated forever. Silent killer stylish name But getting to visit Seb is just the first step figuring out how they can be together for than one brief moment is another Alex believes Seb needs him and he feels lost without Seb Alex has plans and schemes and a fierce determination but the world doesn t cut people a break even when they re falling in love. Silent patient epub internet archive I enjoyed the realistic feel of this Alex s voice has a nice youthful sometimes hopeful and sometimes sarcastic tone He makes mistakes and doesn t think ahead He s not always nice to everyone but his heart is in the right place I appreciated the ups and downs of the story dramatic enough but not melodramatic with a pace that kept me wanting to read I really enjoyed the ending and where it left the guys. Book silent night This is a Young Adult book There is a little on page sex clear enough but short and not overly erotic I d call it 16 Recommended reading for anyone who enjoys YA with appealing characters some pain and some sweetness and a happy but still in progress ending fitting for the now 16 year old protagonists 383 4. Silenta pipe 35 starsIt is really hard to find good YA stories this one exceeded my expectations Took me long to get here but I finally read it Wherever I ended up in life they d end up too Maybe they d always be in a dark drawer somewhere but even if I never laid eyes on them again they d be a part of me The part that said I d had a mother who d tried and failed That I d had a sister who d lost her way That I d had a childhood in the ghetto and it d played its part in making me who I was today. Silent kindle cloud GAAHHH Alex This book made me feel so defeated and helpless The most sad part is that this happens in real life Alex broke my heart made me feel angry and frustrated I wanted to hug him tight shake him and make him accept help I did understand him though most of the kids who grow up in these situations don t trust easily I hated Alex s mother with a passion I wonder why some people have kids Ugh Don t have kids if you are not going to take care of them and choosing a boyfriend over your kids The writing was too real raw and in your face no sugar coating here The story flowed so well and continued to hit me hard upto the last page The character were so well developed and too real I loved Alex and Seb Seb stole my heart Their journey was believable Ugh Why did the world have to be so harsh I wish i could be able to revist all the characters in this book maybe 5 years or 10 years later What happened to the rest of the foster kids Mimi and Star Gaaah Mimi s situation was a sad one too Just repeating her mother s mistakes good thing she is atleast a good mother just that life ended up being a bitch to her I am so happy Alex saw that and tried his best to help Overall this book was amazing but hearbreaking sometimes i love the ones that break my heart 383 First and foremost I d like to say a big thank you to Tess for recommending this book to me. Book silent nurse Silent is a colorful story and not just because of the many beautiful pain and sadness but all these are washed out in the end by hope or as Alex put it tired battered but amazingly still alive and kicking Hope I m not saying that this is an easy book to read It isn t It s raw and real and represents all things ugly in this world And yet I ve never seen so many characters radiating with beauty kindness and warmth. Silent night Alex and Seb I knew the book would focus first and foremost on Alex but I was surprised when I finally got to reading and found out that the author took on a first person POV I guess now when I think it through it makes sense experiencing the book in Alex s eyes because it makes everything realistic and heartfelt But to be honest I was at first doubtful when Seb and his disability was introduced Doubtful that the author can make Alex and Seb s rapport work But Sara Alva just amazes me because these two boys bond and their chemistry and the way they communicate and interact with each other were absolute perfection Alex is this boy who is all attitude abrasive and just dives into a situation head first And sweet sweet Seb who I thought was weak but proved to be someone vibrating with life strong on the inside and who anchors Alex well These boys when they re together make me want to believe in happy endings and just make me soar These two boys are just beautiful and brave wearing their hearts on their sleeve I cried in the end relieved that they will be okay because all I wanted to do was to protect them and make them feel safe All the shitty experiences in my life suddenly seemed so much less significantlike drops of water in the Pacific Ocean compared to this I might ve even chosen to live it again even if it d been worse just to get to this moment. Silent patient epub internet archive Sara Alva you are amazing and your writing is a gift from the heavens I can t do anything other than to give you my respect and praise Slow clap 383 I m sh t I m depressed This book KICKED MY ASS Hard to read but really worth it This is not a rainbows and roses book It s well it s gritty and raw and ugly there s a review to be written. Silent book club eindhoven Now in the midst of all of this madness this sadness this helplessness there is actually a sweet coming of age love story Alex is a toughened street kid from some of the worst projects in LA He s also only 15 He finds himself in foster care and meets Seb a kid with special needs Without telling you much lest I spoiler this their friendship is something they both NEED and it fills deep longing for companionship and love in each of the boys. Silent hill 4 Their journey takes them from foster home to group home separation the streets the beach a dance studio a dumpster and in the end into each others arms the safest place to be Alex s FIERCE devotion to Seb god it both warmed me and stabbed me There was SUCH a desperation there And for someone so young So in truth I felt uncomfortable with the fact that these kids are only FIFTEEN years old I just can t imagine what it s like to be 15 in this day and age but especially not in these circumstances It was the one thing I couldn t shake while reading this all the bad stuff and even the good stuff with the relationship quite frankly was clouded by the fog that screamed They re only FIFTEEN I think this is what will continue to haunt me. Silent pdf What makes this book special what makes it essential reading as a YA book though the subject matter is admittedly not your yay let s be boyfriends and hold hands YA is that the author does NOT shy away from or sugar coat the realness of it These situations exist all around the world. Silence pub If you ve read Sara Alva s Social Skills well you re in for a shock This is a COMPLETELY different turn for her But man the writing remains excellent and the characters so very memorable. The silent patient pdf PPS I m obsessed with Sara Alva That is all 383 ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ PERIOD The main characters in this story reminded me a lot of those in Sara Alva s other AMAZING read Social Skills The characters truly brought out the best in one another They held one another up when it seemed like there was very little reason to hold onto any hope that things might ever get better The main difference in the characters in the two books was while the Social Skills MC s dealt with awkwardness and good grades in college Silent s boys focus wasn t on thriving in the world but about surviving it Quite literally. Silent kindle cloud As the story begins Alex is ripped from his abusive home when a teacher reports a suspicious burn on his arm to the authorities which lands him in a group foster home where he actually begins to slowly fit in and feel safe Until it burns to the ground Talk about one gut punch after another. Silent hill 4 The fire separates Alex from Seb his confidant when his relocated existence becomes too much to bear Why not tell the mute retard your problems Who s he going to tell right Except their relationship becomes much than a place for Alex to unload his burdens and he can t imagine living without Seb even if it s ever just as a friend After all Seb is mentally challenged isn t he Enter the hooker sister her daughter and life on the lam for Alex and Seb This is where things take an amazing turn for the better for both Alex and Seb Until it burns to the ground Not literally this time but it does involve a brutal attack on the streets and a retreat to familiar ground The rest of the story is a battle for and an unwavering commitment to remain together through some extremely tough situations I couldn t put this one down from start to finish as every page felt relevant to the story and completely engrossing. Silent book club near me If I had to sum the story up in one line I d probably have to say the book is about knowing when to hide to keep yourself both safe and sane then learning to trust and reveal your innermost self when someone proves themselves worthy. Silent patient kindle price 25 1 2 stars out of 5 of course 383 I had a lump in my throat the size of US while reading this book from page 1 until the very end It is a book that I want every single human on this planet to read because even though it s a book this could be real life However it is not for everyone because it will break you no matter how tough you think you are. Ebook sintaksis I can t really review this book properly I don t want to give anything away BUT I do want to give my two cents about a few things and it won t be prettyFirst of all stop bringing children to the world if you are not parent material You can be a woman without being a mom and if you become a mom make sure you are able to look after your children And I am not talking about money I am talking about really playing the role of being a parent I was so pissed off while reading about Alex s mom I wanted to literally find her and kill her with my bare hands damn the consequences And no I don t need to walk on her shoes to know what is like being her she was a despicable person and she deserves nothing but punishment. Silent book club seattle I also want to thank all the Suzies around the world you guys are really doing a great job helping complicated teens who don t want the help because they think they know better Social Services rock at least in this book. Book silent retreat at esalen institute And I just basically want to say we are all lucky extremely lucky We get to sleep in a comfy bed we have food in our bellies we have jobs that allow us to pay for our holidays we can buy clothes and shoes and we probably don t even value it as much as we should We should wake up and thank the world for being alive and for being so lucky every single day But we don t we get mad because we want money because we want this brand of shoes because we could not go on holidays this year because we had to stay late at work on a Friday because we had to do something we didn t want to because we don t really like how our food was cooked. Silent voice This book was a reality slap it made me feel ashamed of myself Because there are human beings out there who don t have it easy who could not even choose what to do with their lives because they don t have a chance to change anything they can only survive. Silentblue remybook This story had to be told and it needs to be read 383
