Review: The Silence Between Us

The Silence Between Us by Alison Gervais
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maya has to spend her senior year in a hearing school after her family moves. She’s unhappy about the change and worried about how school will go. Nina and Beau become her new friends, each learning to sign in order to be able to talk to her. Perhaps Beau could be something more, but Steph is afraid to trust.

This is my second book with a deaf character this year. I loved the perspective from Maya, who is happy how she is, not willing to change just to accommodate other people’s “expectations.” But wants to participate in a world who often forgets about deaf people.
