i gave this book a lot of grace since it's from an indie author, however this book does have pros and cons. overall i enjoyed the premise and thought it read like a Wattpad story, but the grammar errors were so overpowering it was hard to read sometimes. The grammar was so horrible I couldn't always determine who was speaking when and information was always delivered through dialogue. There were so many run-on sentences but the narrators were so personable. I appreciated the bilingual aspects and the black narrator and the inclusion of ASL. There was little to no conflict, very low stakes, and it tried a bit hard to be "woke" with terms like "code switch" despite her love interest being "conservative leaning"? This book definitely needed more rounds of revision but not a bad read.
