It wasn't a terrible book but it wasn't amazing either! The biggest problem with the book is the like-abilty of the main character. He was not like-able or endearing to me in any way. Too angsty by far! I hate forcing myself to read a book but this was a book club donation so I muddled through.
A funny, light read, with a deaf teenager as the protagonist. Would love to see more differently abled people in YA (or anywhere in fiction, for that matter).
This is my brother-in-law's debut book. Funny and entertaining!
