Great story. Unique characters. Very logical motivation that you can understand every step of the way. The doubt is palpable through which makes for a good mystery.

Wow. This book took me a while, not because of its pacing, but because I was moving and starting school and just exhausted. 
Once I had more time to devote to it, I plowed through it! I loved the premise and how much I learned about the nonspeaking community. The author’s note at the end was fascinating too. 
Really well done.

Not gonna lie I loved this book but I was so disappointed by the anticlimactic ending that I can't rate it higher.

This book was incredibly interesting and informative, had tons of heart, and I liked every character in it. I cannot wait to read her first book now.
