I loved this book.  I did.  Kelly writes a beautiful story and obviously deafness representation absolutely matters.  The fact that Kelly is means this representation is accurate and beautifully presented and written.

This plot is dark and yet beautiful.  You want to know what happens next.

My problem with the book has nothing to do with the book.  It’s that I read Your Blood My Bones first and it’s a bit of a spoiler for this book.  I still loved the book and will be rereading in the future.
