pickIt‘s a pick but primarily because I learned so much about deaf culture.
I was left with so many questions about the characters…is there going to be a sequel? What the heck will their future be? Why did the story end in such an abrupt way? Was the story simply a vehicle to explain all the challenges experienced by those who are deaf or was it supposed to resolve the various situations of the characters, such as housing, schooling, marriages?

Ruthiella I don‘t think everything was going to resolve at the end. I felt that the book was really about Charlie and her exploring Deaf culture and ASL and also her growing up. So by the end, we don‘t know what will happen next, but do know that Charlie is better equipped to handle her future as a Deaf person. 2y
Suet624 @Ruthiella Thanks for responding. I'll be interested to see what folks think about it when we discuss the book later. I may also just be a grumpy pants and can't see the forest through the trees. 2y

Suet624 @BarbaraBB @cinfhen Barbara, I'm so glad to hear you understood my review. It's always hard to criticize a book, especially one that educates us, but jeepers! Finish the story! 2y
BarbaraBB I just finished it and was wondering if I would be the only one without a raving review. Should‘ve known better 🤍 2y
Cinfhen I‘m with both of you @Suet624 @BarbaraBB - it‘s a pick for the content but the plot/ story was #MoreMehThanYeah 🙄 2y
