About this book
Steffi has selective mutism and a talent for going unnoticed. Rhys is new at sixth form and profoundly deaf, fluent in British Sign Language. Paired as buddies, they discover a shared language that is as much about hands and eye contact as it is about courage. Navigating school corridors, anxious hearts, and complicated friendships, their gentle romance grows through notes, texts, and signed conversations. Sara Barnard crafts a tender, realistically messy love story that honors anxiety and Deaf culture with sensitivity. The mood is warm and hopeful, balancing soft humor with hard-won confidence as two teens learn to speak up—together.
