Signs of Attraction is easily the best romance novel I’ve read in a long
time. This story features a Deaf character (Reed) and a hard of hearing
character (Carli), and follows their journey as they not only fall in
love but also learn to define themselves. The writing, with its mixed
feel of literary and contemporary, grabbed me from the start. Reed and
Carli each have a unique voice that jumps off the page and encourages
the reader to continue. In addition to the swoony romance, I also love
the dark edginess of this story. Signs of Attraction has a deep,
well-rounded plot that is sure to hook all readers interested in
contemporary romances. I will definitely read all of Laura Brown’s
future works; she’s an author to watch!
Stars: 5/5
Recommended for: Readers who enjoy dark romances with diverse characters
An overt mix of love and cynicism, and oodles of queer YA. Other age categories make guest appearances too. I ain't got time to read books I don't like.

Review: IF I WAS YOUR GIRL, by Meredith Russo
Wow! Meredith Russo is an author to watch! If I Was Your Girl has everything you could ever ask for in a young adult book: great writing, a convincing dilemma, and solid character development. Forget that this book is about a trans character, because people of all ages can relate to the main character's struggles--of fitting in, of keeping secrets, of fearing what people think of you. I give 5 solid stars to this book, and I look forward to anything and everything Meredith Russo writes in the future.
