quick, easy to read but unfortunately suffers from (kinda unlikable) 2-dimensional characters and predictable plot lines so it won’t be something that stays on my mind for long.

despite being told under the third-person perspective, this book allows me to look into the minds of the characters so deeply that I fully understand their struggles, their love, their actions, and the lives that surround them.

it was very slow pace and the narrator was just too childlike that it got me so annoyed to continue

couldn’t finish it due to not having enough time in the library but i wouldn’t finish it either way if i have the time. there’s just so many graphic sex scenes that are so disturbing and i can see the book was somewhat trying to give a commentary on men being predators but the contents are just too exploitive that it makes my skin crawl from seeing those stuff

under the perspectives of a lovable, innocent but strong narrator, this book opens up my eyes to the deaf community as a resilient and inspiring community. overall an easy and relatively quick read but an inspirational one.
