this book was good but not amazing. to be very honest i thought i would like it more than i did but that’s okay- it was still good. i think the thing i appreciated most about this book other than the Deaf main character is the graffiti artworks- they were genuinely amazing. i tend to enjoy more the books that i relate to the main characters and share their thoughts and personalities and just felt like i couldn’t really with Julia. i did very much like her response to fatph*bia tho, that was very cool.
