so its about this deaf person and the only thing i can remember is in one part they are sat in a cafe with someone (i cant remember if theyre boyfriends at this part or not yet) when 2 or 3 students come over and start speaking in sign language to him but the boy hes with doesnt like it because the students are treating him like he is stupid or has a learning disability. if you know it please tell me i have been wanting to read it again but accidentally lost it
