Read as the August #WickAndJaneBookClub pick on Instagram, the theme was d/Deaf/Hard of Hearing MC.

Rep: female MC with anxiety and selective mutism, deaf male love interest (possibly BIPOC, described as brown skin), MC's female best friend is unspecified BIPOC and possibly a refugee (best guess at ethnicity is Somalian based on last name). Several side character are deaf and use sign language, Syrian male side character.

CWs: Ableism, alcohol consumption (some underage), gaslighting, grief, mental illness (anxiety), panic attacks/disorders, bullying, child death, car accident, infidelity, sexual content, racism.
