Unfortunately, I felt that many of the conflicts in this book could have easily been solved if the characters just communicated with each other. But I thought the romance itself was very cute! I also enjoyed the theatre elements.

After he started "dating" the swimming guy and also still reading the breakup list to his sister, I knew it would be revealed at some point. It made me not want to read the rest of the story, so I stopped.

YA can be hit or miss for me. Also I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator kept pronouncing smoothie as "shmoodie" which bothered me
As a college student who's getting a degree in Stage Management and survived high school theatre, this book is everything to me. I didn't get to have a crazy high school showmance like Jackson got to experience, but I truly felt this book in my bones. I could relate to so many actions, internal thoughts, and overall Jackson as a person. A bit freaky how accurate it was to be honest.
I absolutely despise Jackson's sister (Jasmine) for an abundance of reasons. She filled me with so much frustration whenever she inserted herself into the plot, which moved the story along and was necessary, but I can still say grrrr. However, I think Liam deserves the world and needs to be protected at all costs. He's everything to me.
Before I go into my last comment, I was to note that I am not deaf or HoH. I really do like the way Jackson's deafness was portrayed in the book, although the "somethingsomething" in conversations with other characters was a bit confusing. I haven't read any other books with a deaf main character before this one, so I could be having a difficult time in itself when it comes to expressing hearing between characters in the book, or this truly was a bit difficult. Either way, I enjoyed reading about his internal thoughts and feelings towards being deaf and his fluency in ASL. I'd love to learn ASL eventually and books like these get me more excited to learn one day.

aah this was so sweet and cute! simply, i am an adib khorram stan!
this was so good but i don't recommend the audiobook. i did not know going in that this had strike-out passages to represent jackson's thoughts and in the audiobook, they appear by the narrator saying "strike that". which yes, makes sense!! but it got annoying really fast the amount times that he says it.
(also i am a jasmine hater! she was annoying and horrible! and i despise her! she annoyed me! and did absolutely unforgivable things!)
