Title: Song of Summer
Author: Laura Lee Anderson
Published: July 7, 2015
Blurb (taken from Goodreads): The thirteen qualities of Robin’s Perfect Man range from the mildly important “Handsome” to the all-important “Great taste in music.” After all, Westfield’s best high school folk musician can’t go out with some schmuck who only listens to top 40 crap. When hot Carter Paulson walks in the door of Robin’s diner, it looks like the list may have come to life. It’s not until the end of the meal that she realizes he’s profoundly deaf. Carter isn’t looking for a girlfriend. Especially not a hearing one. Not that he has anything against hearing girls, they just don’t speak the same language. But when the cute waitress at Grape Country Dairy makes an effort to talk with him, he takes her out on his yellow Ducati motorcycle.
Note: I received an early copy of the book from Bloomsbury through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Rating: 4 stars
Review: I've wanted to read a book with a deaf character ever since I read Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover. When I seen that Song of Summer had a deaf character I knew I wanted to read it. When I found out that Song of Summer had alternating perspectives I knew I needed it ASAP. This book is too cute! I actually thought it was going to kill me with its cuteness. I loved the writing in the book, it was breezy and easy to read. I liked how the author handled writing a deaf character, I thought she did a very nice job. I liked the characters in the book, except for Robin's ex-boyfriend - he got on my nerves. I liked seeing Carter and Robin interact with each other. Song of Summer made me laugh and had me rooting for Robin and Carter since the very beginning.
I give this book 4 stars because there were a few grammatical errors and I felt like the ending was little abrupt. That aside, I really enjoy this book and I recommend this if you're looking for a quick summer read.
