This got good reviews, and I didn’t go out looking for it but when I saw it on the “new books” table at the public library, I picked it up along with five other books. Although it was an easy read I somehow didn’t like the writing. And this is the type of book whose worth is entirely based on the quality of the writing, as there’s not much of a plot. I finished it in one day, actually just a few hours ago, and not much is sticking with me except the nagging impression that (REVEALING DETAIL ALERT): there’s no way she could have learned that much sign language in less than one semester.

A good idea for a book, but the execution was not my cup of tea.
