Loved the Deaf representation! It was part of the character's experience but not their defining characteristic.
This was such a warm story, written with heart and beautifully drawn. The main romance was sweet and healthy. I think the grandmothers were my favorite part, I want to be that kind of wholesome-but-feisty when I'm their age.
I'd have given this five stars except for some cliches, but they were all in good fun. I loved the experience and would definitely recommend it for YA readers who want to see Queer, Nonbinary, and/or Deaf representation!
