Two disabled queer teens, Casey, whoâs trying to conceal her hearing loss from her new classmates, and soccer captain Hayden, whose Generalized Anxiety Order stops him from telling his parents he wants to pursue a career on Broadway, form an intimate, platonic friendship that changes everything. Simultaneous eBook. - Random House, Inc.
Two disabled queer teens find belonging in this poignant platonic love story about singing, signing, and solidarity.
Casey Kowalski once dreamed of becoming a professional singer. Then the universe threw her a life-altering curveballâsudden, permanent, and profound hearing lossâjust before her familyâs move from Portland to Miami. Now, sheâs learning to navigate the world as a Deaf-Hard of Hearing person while trying to conceal her hearing loss from her new schoolmates.Â
Hayden González-Rossi is also keeping secrets. Three generations of González men have risen to stardom on the soccer field, and Hayden knows his family expects him to follow in their footsteps, but he wants to quit soccer and pursue a career on Broadway. If only his Generalized Anxiety Disorder didnât send him into a debilitating spiral over the thought of telling the truth.
Casey and Hayden are both determined to hide who they really are. But when they cross paths at school, they bond over their shared love of music and their mutual feeling that they donât belong, and the secrets come spilling out. Their friendship is the beating heart of this dual-perspective story featuring thoughtful disability representation, nuanced queer identities, and a lovably quirky supporting cast.
