His world is music. Her world is silent. Ali Collins was a child prodigy destined to become one of the greatest musicians of the twenty-first centuryuntil she was diagnosed with a life-changing brain tumor. Now, at seventeen, Ali lives in a soundless world where she gets by with American Sign Language and lip-reading. Shes a constant disappointment to her father, a retired cop fighting his own demons, and the bruises are getting harder to hide. When Ali accidentally wins a backstage tour with the chart-topping band Tone Deaf, shes swept back into the world of music. Jace Beckett, the nineteen-year-old lead singer of the band, has a reputation. Hes a jerk and a player, and Ali wants nothing to do with him. But theres more to Jace than the tabloids let on. When Jace notices Alis bruises and offers to help her escape to New York, Ali cant turn down the chance at freedom and a fresh start. Soon shes traveling cross-country, hidden away in Jaces RV as the band finishes their nationwide tour. With the help of Jace, Ali sets out to reboot her life and rediscover the music she once loved.

If you can get past Jace being an asshole, this is a great YA music read 🎶🎧

Panda would like to remind me there are three other cats in the house who could be Litsy models. #catsoflitsy

A quick YA contemporary romance about a Deaf girl who is given the chance to escape her abusive father by a famous rock star. I enjoyed this. #romantsy

CatLass007 Panda is a beautiful kitty!! 7y
silentrequiem @CatLass007 Thanks! All my kitties are very handsome, but I admit I'm biased. 😸 7y
ladym30 Panda is gorgeous! 7y

Reading this library book in bed with my four handsome boys. Not pictured: Aral, who is pretending the other three don't exist and is on the other side of the bed. #catsoflitsy

This YA book, which my MIL gave me as a bday gift b/c she met the author, has probably the worst example of #firstimpressions. Deaf girl meets rock star, and he‘s a total jerk at their first meeting, as seen above.

In fact it made me so mad that I stopped reading right then and there, on page 17 😡!! In no hurry at all to try it again 😬.

Apparently they‘ll fall in love with each other and all that 🙄 .

theresidentromantic Ugh *shudders* I don't blame you! 7y
Melissa_J I think this would have turned me off, too! 7y
CrowCAH Yes, the perfect example of first impressions. 7y

DivineDiana I‘m with you! 😖 7y
Abby-J Those names are awful, too. Jace and Arrow? I go by the rule that, unless it‘s alt-world fantasy or sci-fi, you only get one oddball name per book. 7y
ReadingSusan Oh good grief 🙄🙄🙄 7y
LiteraryinPA Wow. Did your MIL read it? 7y
Zelma I don‘t blame you. The synopsis sounds pretty awful too; a love-hate romance plus damsel in distress saved by a misunderstood man. 🙄 7y
LeahBergen Oh, God. 🙄 7y
ValerieAndBooks @theresidentromantic Right?! Such a horrible first impression!! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Melissa_J I‘ve picked this up thinking I should see if it improves, but then I see this and get mad all over again 😡! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @CrowCAH and a perfect example of extreme rudeness, too! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @DivineDiana it‘s not my typical genre (YA) either 🤷‍♀️ 7y
ValerieAndBooks @ReadingSusan yes, good grief indeed. 😝 7y
ValerieAndBooks @LiteraryinLititz I doubt it. She even had the author autograph the book to me. But, if she asks what I thought of it, I‘ll let her know I didn‘t finish because of that scene. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Abby-J haha and there‘s also Killer. Not a dog, but a band-mate 😜. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Zelma Exactly! and it‘s not the first time I‘ve seen a plot where a deaf person (usually female) and a musician (usually famous) fall in love with each other 🙄. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @LeahBergen agree 🙄! From what understand, this is a first-time author, and very young, so maybe her next storyline (if she writes another book) will have less immature characters. 7y

I‘m overwhelmed by all your birthday wishes — have not had a chance to respond to all yet 💖. You Littens are the best😘!

Thought I‘d share my bookish loot 😊

📚YA romance from my MIL. Not a genre I normally read; she met the author and thought I might like reading it. MC is Deaf, like me. I‘m always curious how they‘re portrayed.
📚 Three lovely book sleeves that my mom made!

This cover is beautiful, isn't it? I adore it! I can't wait to read #ToneDeaf by #OliviaRivers. I know it's another #contemporary and I'm more of a fantasy person, but after reading Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I'm willing to explore the genre a bit more. 😊

Mehso-so

This book wasn't horrible but it wasn't awesome either. It's a cheesy but cute YA romance.

I really liked that Ali was different then other leading ladies in books. I didn't like how fast she feel in love with Jace, who was a huge ass. Some parts were completely unbelievable. I wish we could have delved more into both Ali and Jace's fathers. The ending felt rushed.

This was a quick and easy read but not one of my favorites.

⭐⭐⭐

I totally binge read this book in one sitting! It was so good! I loved how Olivia Rivers wove together this story of two teens with troubled pasts and how they move on to loving one another. The only thing I had issue with was the romance did feel rushed. Otherwise 👌🏻 novel. 4⭐️
