About That Night by Laura Brown
4.0
About That Night is the most charming story I've read in awhile! One night stand, surprise pregnancy, office romance-this book has it all. As someone with hearing loss, I was excited to read about deaf characters and non-deaf characters who support the deaf community. What I especially loved was the story isn't about being deaf; the hero is deaf but that is not the plot of the story. He is simply a man smitten by a woman!
Izzy and Nolan's hot night turned into much more. But, Izzy didn't know how to reach him because she didn't catch his name. So, she had her son Archie and is moving on in life. She has a new job as an administrative assistant and on her first day, she runs smack into her baby daddy...and new coworker! Both are stunned, but Nolan wants to be a part of Archie's life. He isn't ready to give up on Izzy either-but the office has a very strict policy on dating. No inter office dating allowed.
As I said before, I loved that the story has a deaf character but isn't about him being deaf. This is a major distinction for those with disabilities. Being deaf doesn't define Nolan and his story is one of finding love and making a family! The story weaves in the ASL seamlessly so that everything feels normal. To have the focus on their love story instead of Nolan's deafness was heartwarming and charming. This is the representation that is needed! Also, I am trying to learn ASL, so I totally understand Izzy's struggles at times. It's quite difficult-especially when fluent ASL signers go so fast!
