Great insight from the author. As someone with hearing loss it was very relatable. This is a memoir from someone under 30, so it only scratched the surface but I really enjoyed it!

Pretty interesting info! I wish that this was either longer or shorter. The illustrations are fun, might of even worked better as a full on graphic novel!
