He longs for love; she fears it.
Shawn dreams of finding a lifelong relationship, but only finds frustration-until he meets Violet, a beautiful, mysterious woman who sees past his autism to the man within. From the moment their eyes first lock, something sparks.
But behind Violet's quiet smile lies a world of pain. Trapped in a life of exploitation, she's learned that closeness brings danger. Yet, something about Shawn feels different. Safe. Real. Worth risking everything.
As their bond deepens, they must defy impossible odds and find the courage to fight for each other, no matter the cost. Because only love has the power to heal their deepest wounds and break them free from their past.
This inspirational contemporary romance-now a motion picture-returns as a newly revised 10th Anniversary Edition, with expanded storytelling and greater emotional depth.
What did I think?
Oh my goodness, Allen Wolf put my heart through the emotional wringer in this stunning novel. I am not surprised that The Sound of Violet has been made into a movie as it is an unusual romance with such believable and well-drawn characters.
Shawn works for a dating app but his autism has prevented him from writing his own love story. That is until he meets Violet; but Violet isn't who Shawn thinks she is. Both characters' stories are heartbreaking but Shawn at least has his grandmother and brother to support him. I absolutely loved Shawn's belief that he would find his other half and his unrelenting search for her, despite it being so far out of his comfort zone.
I couldn't put this book down once I picked it up. It's just as well it has been made into a movie rather than a series as it would be very bingeworthy. It is beautifully written with humour, heart and soul and it is filled with drama, family and romance. It's simply wonderful from start to finish, despite the often dark and disturbing elements to the plot.
Heartwarming, uplifting and unforgettable, The Sound of Violet is a sparkling gem of a novel that I almost didn't read and what a tragedy that would have been as it turned out to be one of my favourite books of the year. An unmissable book that is an incredibly highly recommended read. I loved it and plan to read it again before I see the movie.
I received a gifted hardback for the Love Books Tours virtual book tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
