"What is life? Is it a journey or just something that you have to get through? It seems like a voyage to everyone around me. A blissful life filled with happy memories occurring on and indefinite timeline. To me life is more like a struggle to get through each day."Lacey is trying to forget her past. She moved to Maryland from Florida with her family and meets her best friend Becca. Lacey's story starts when she is a senior in high school. She keeps herself busy with school, working for her parent's boutique, and dancing. Lacey needs the distraction of getting lost in the music to escape from her silence, from her past. It's at the club that she meets him.....Caine. Mr. Dreamy is every girl's fantasy come true. On the surface Caine is perfect, everyone loves him, especially Lacey. Their romance starts of as a whirlwind and they fall deeply in love, until things change, and boy do they change.There were many times in this story where I wanted to jump in and shake Lacey to open her eyes. I could feel her conflict with the situations she was in. Was she right? Absolutely not, but this is her journey, who are we to tell her what to do. I can only imagine the thought process Lacey went though is exactly what someone else in the same situation would feel. I think L.U. Ann perfectly conveyed those feelings in Lacey. Becca, I adore her and I wish I had a friend like her. Her vocabulary cracked me up and making me pull up urban dictionary on my phone several times. I think I may be adding some of her words into my daily vocabulary. Caine, I really have no words for him, I really don't. I think the game Lacey and Becca played called Name the Douche bag sums up how I feel about him and then some.Destructive Silence takes you on a ride. The cover is absolutely beautiful and perfect for this story. Lacey's story was hard to read, not because it was a bad book, but because of the situations in it. This book does deals with the sensitive subject of abuse. I did want to throw my kindle a couple times and had to step away from the story, but always came back. I'm glad I read Lacey's story and can't wait to read the next one. After reading Destructive Silence you will be begging the L.U. Ann to release the next one.
