When her boyfriend breaks up with her at the start of summer, eighteen-year-old Emily Davis reluctantly agrees to befriend her new neighbour, Alana. Then, when she discovers that Alana is losing her hearing, she focuses on learning sign language and bettering her understanding of the Deaf Community.
Over the course of the following weeks, Emily finds herself falling in love with her new friend and trying to identify unfamiliar, perhaps unreciprocated, feelings. Though she wants to ask Alana if their friendship could turn into something more, the other girl is preoccupied with preparing for a life changing surgery.
It is the summer before she moves away for university, and Emily is questioning her identity, her future and herself. Everybody says that love is blind, but what happens when it's deaf?
This young adult novel is sure to capture the heart of any reader, regardless of their age; it tackles the universally accessible themes of young love, heartbreak and discovering one's sexuality.
