You're Welcome, Universe by Whitney Gardner

5.0

Literally the best portrayal of a Deaf character I've ever seen written down, even down to the little things like calling people by initials because that's their sign name. Julia's deafness is not treated as a fault with her, but with people in her environment who don't take the time to figure out how to communicate with her. No magic lipreading and just wow. I was shocked to find that the author is not deaf because of how well she captured this POV. Julia was a little annoying at times, but I'm still absolutely in awe of this book. WOW, just WOW.
