Goodreads Book Description:
Will and Summer meet online
and strike up a friendship based on coincidence. Summer lives in Will's old
hometown, Kettering, a small Tasmanian coastal community. Summer isn't telling
the whole truth about herself, but figures it doesn't matter if they never see
each other in person, right?
When Will returns to
Kettering, the two finally meet and Summer can no longer hide her secret – she
is deaf. Can Summer and Will find a way to be friends in person even though
they speak a completely different language?
My Review:
Witnessing Will and Summer
meet for the first time in person was certainly not what I had anticipated at
all, although it was very entertaining. The blossoming rollercoaster
relationship between Will and Summer was incredibly beautiful and so sweetly
unique; how much Will was doing for Summer by learning sign language and Summer
being able to open herself up to someone about her father.
Both characters were
beautifully created and continued to develop in a realistic manner whereas many
books rush the character development. Will and Summer caused the readers to
feel their emotions, but not exaggerated emotions; realistic emotions.
The storyline was one that
I have not seen before but it was very interesting and adventurous as it was
mostly based around the Tasmanian coast. The cover gives the reader almost a
sense of wonder through Will and Summer being underwater but also the sea
creatures added to create that feeling of being underwater.
I also adored how the
author incorporated the explanations of some sign language words, it got me
trying them out myself; plus the sign language alphabet at the back of the book
has me very intrigued!
