Review: Tone Deaf by Olivia Rivers

Tone Deaf by Olivia Rivers Blurb from Goodreads : His world is music. Her world is silent. Ali Collins was a child prodigy destined to become one of the greatest musicians of the twenty-first century—until she was diagnosed with a life-changing brain tumor. Now, at seventeen, Ali lives in a soundless world where she gets by with American Sign Language and lip-reading.

When Jace notices Ali’s bruises and offers to help her escape to New York, Ali can’t turn down the chance at freedom ...
