5.0

I absolutely enjoyed this novel. It was very realistic and I feel like I learned something about Deaf culture through Lilah's story. Absolutely beautiful. I can remember the last book I emersed myself in this much.

I was given an ARC through netgalley.

This book was very cute and informative about what it is like for someone of the deaf / hard of hearing community to deal with not only the hearing community around them, but also the deaf community when they "aren't deaf enough".

a fun YA book with representation for the Deaf community! i enjoyed the summer camp setting, and I think the way Anna Sortino portrayed Deafness in the writing of this book was thoughtfully crafted. (and i like how it translated to the audiobook version!) i appreciate how we got to see so many different characters, each with a unique perspective and backstory. unfortunately, i wasn't as big of a fan of the plot, especially the part where the counselors (many underage) went to a bar—while maybe realistic, it just wasn't very fun to read about, and i feel like there should have been more repercussions. i would have loved to see more light-hearted camp times and gotten to witness firsthand what made this camp so special and beloved. in conclusion: this book has so many important messages, and i'm glad it exists in a YA space! the story wasn't perfect for me, but i hope it connects with younger readers!
