The Sign for Home by Blair Fell
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.
I requested this book since I haven't read any DeafBlind protagonists before and being written by an ASL interpreter himself, this caught my interest.
However, the minute I dove in the story, I was overwhelmed by all the religious discussions in this book. I understood going in that the protagonist is a Jehovah's Witness, but I didn't realize that it would be so heavy with talks of eternal damnation and such if you do this and such. I always keep an open mind when reading, but this was just a bit too much for me.
Still, thank you to Atria Books, NetGalley and the author for the chance to dip into Arlo's story through this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
