Don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this.
I didn't like this much, but it was tailored for children, so perhaps that played a roll?
A big part of the book is all about elementary school friendship drama, which isn’t really my thing.
But I absolutely loved the beginning—when the author talks about losing her hearing at four due to meningitis. She describes her emotions and how people reacted to her so beautifully. The tips about how to talk and not to talk when someone is trying to lip-read was great too!
Just the second part, that I didn't like much. But, that reflects my opinion/taste, not that the book is bad (if that makes sense)
