pickNovic has a message, an important one. She calls out to the hearing world to stand with the Deaf community, and fight for their self-governance, dignity and the value of human diversity before the effects of educational isolation and genetic manipulation are irreversible.
How little did I know! I loved to learn about Deaf culture but the fiction storyline was distracting. The MCs felt cliché, their relationships flat and unfinished.

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I‘m glad to hear that. I was afraid I‘d be the only one not just loving this book. It felt flat at times despite its importance 🤷🏻♀️ I think @Suet624 felt so too. (edited) 3y
Laughterhp Yes, I did feel unsatisfied with the ending too. It just ended. 3y
Megabooks Great review! I felt the ending was a bit unfinished the first time I read it (haven‘t finished my reread), but I really connected with this book. I always seem to connect better with books set geographically near me. Maybe that‘s odd, but perhaps I feel like I can read more into the characters than a book set abroad or even in NYC. 🤔🤷🏻♀️ 3y
sarahbarnes Great review. Just started this one. I will be interested to see how it goes. 3y
Cinfhen I know what you mean, Barbara. I‘ve only seen GLOWING five star reviews and I kept thinking, shit I must be an awful person because this book is really just ok. I TOTALLY agree, that the subject matter is OUTSTANDING and I‘m really being educated on deaf culture but the plot 🙄VERY YA 3y
BarbaraBB @Laughterhp Exactly! 3y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks I understand that, though I don‘t feel that way myself. I am mostly bored by people looking too much like myself - it makes me feel I am highly unoriginal 🤣 3y
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I am curious to see where you‘ll end up, we so often feel the same about books. 3y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Yes! That‘s it! 3y
Suet624 Great review, as usual, stating what was special about the book but also succinctly outlining the drawback. So glad we're on the same wavelength with this one. 3y
batsy Great review! I'm not done yet but you've outlined exactly what I like and don't like about this book so far. 3y
BarbaraBB I‘m glad I‘m in good company 😉😘 @batsy (edited) 3y
