Such an interesting read as it’s not like many other books I have read. It was a quick read but I felt I needed more details in places. Definitely a solid YA read!

All the feels on this one. I felt every emotion. I related to so much coming from a strict religious upbringing with a lot of the same experiences as Mia. Especially in her relationship with her mother.
Honestly, it took me some time to get into the book and to connect with the characters, but I am so glad that I held on because before I knew it I was literally laughing out loud, sighing, huffing and puffing, and bawling my eyes out. It was an emotional roller coaster for sure, but definitely a must read. I love the lessons Mia learned and how it shaped and molded her future. Without spoiling anything... I'm a happy ending type person, so I wasn't thrilled towards the end, but it came around by finish enough to redeem some of it. I would definitely recommend this book. It was a great teenage range read.

Alfie was an interesting character to me who has more growth to me, which feels rare for a boy in a YA novel. Greek culture, particularly pertaining to Christianity, was explored well in the story. Mia did not have much growth but she worked through her experiences.

I inhaled The Quiet Part Out Loud in one night and when I finished around 2am, I sat and stared at the wall for a good long while. This novel about a college kid facing the fallout of her choices and trying to put her life back together in the wake of a devastating earthquake is heartbreaking and absolutely gorgeous. A must-read.

So you're gonna need tissues for this one. Loved the writing style and how different the premise of this book was but was totally not expecting the ending. Not what I really needed right at this moment. If you love books like "5 feet apart" and "When you were mine" then this is the book for you.

While a bit of a slow start, The Quiet Part Out Loud, pulls you in towards the end and has you rooting for its teenage/young adult protaganists by the end. Probably most akin to a coming of age novel, you see complicated parental relationships, the blooming of young love, the destruction of a family in so many different ways, and the way you learn to keep moving forward, every day, even when you don't think you can.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC.

This was a quick, light read. I definitely enjoyed it. I wish there had been more details or more things had been fleshed out. I liked it but I don't think I would read it again.

This is a placeholder review. I need the kindle download to be able to read this book, and will change my review accordingly once that's made available.
