Communication is a powerful theme for me, and the fact that she loses the ability to speak highlights this element in a meaningful way. Beautiful, sweet story.

Loving how this relationship began, and how they learn from each other and mature as they go along. I appreciate stories with real problems, external to the main characters, that force them to figure out solutions together and communicate with each other. Deafness highlights the necessity for communicating clearly in relationships all the more.
