Review: I picked up this book without knowing that much about it and I really enjoyed it. Piper is a really awesome main character. I really liked the way that she had grown by the end of the book. I haven't come across many deaf characters in ya books and it worked surpisingly well for this setting. I flew through this book pretty quickly and really liked getting to know all the characters. Finn and Ed were both super sweet and I adored both of them. I liked that Tash and Kallie both seemed to grow over the course of the book. Josh was possibly one of the most self centered characters I have ever come across, and Will had no personality at all. There is no doubt that the characters are really make this book stand out This is a book about change and friendship and family and beliveing in yourself no matter what. I really enjoyed this really cool and awesome book
