I do believe this was better deaf / signing representation than Chloe Liesle’s book. I also thought the premise was unique albeit a little far fetched. I can only speak for me but at 24, I was barely able to take care of myself much less a child so it felt like Chloe was not put in a position to allow herself to even choose. But the romance between Chloe & Warren lowkey gave me whiplash. One minute he is grumbling & doesn’t like her, then fast forward to 80% and they are having sex/ saying I love you? Eh, too fast & not developed enough for me personally.
