The Shapes of Quiet

I'm doing my best to make a living through my stories, so every bit of support helps. That said-if you truly want to read this book but can't afford it right now, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can email me at honeywrites4u@gmail.com, and I'll be happy to share a copy with you. Stories should be for everyone. ------------------------------ About the book: In a rain-damp city, tucked between crooked streets and ivy-covered windows, there is a bookshop where silence feels like a welcome. And behind the counter sits Elowen-quiet, peculiar, beautifully unreadable. Marianne doesn't mean to fall in love. Not loudly. Not all at once. But there's something in the way Elowen brews tea like an apology, arranges books like prayers, and hands over poems instead of explanations. The Shapes of Quiet is a love story whispered in stillness. It's about learning to read a person's silences, waiting for the soft bloom of trust, and cherishing the ways someone says "I love you" without ever speaking the words. For anyone who's ever found home in another person's hush-this is for you.Complete

Luca Navarro hasn't spoken aloud in years. Living with selective mutism and anxiety, he keeps to the edges of the world: unnoticed in class, unseen in the hallways, and safest behind the anonymous identity of his online art account, The Quiet Kind. There, through haunting illustrations, he expresses what words cannot, and quietly builds a following that understands him more than anyone in real life ever has. Then a final school project throws him into an unlikely partnership with Adrian Castillo, the school's charismatic, openly queer theater star. Adrian is everything Luca isn't: bold, outgoing, effortlessly expressive. But beneath Adrian's confident exterior is someone tired of performing a version of himself just to stay liked. As their project unfolds, a multimedia exploration of silence, identity, and expression, a fragile friendship blooms into something deeper. Adrian sees Luca in a way no one ever has, and Luca begins to open up in ways he never thought possible. But when a well-meaning teacher accidentally exposes Luca's identity behind The Quiet Kind, the world he's built begins to unravel. Now, Luca must decide whether to retreat into silence again, or take the risk of being fully, visibly himself. Tender, empowering, and quietly revolutionary, The Quiet Kind of Loud is a love story about two boys finding each other in the spaces between sound and silence, and discovering that sometimes, the most powerful voices are the ones you never hear coming.Complete
