Give Me a Sign

In this big-hearted young adult romance, a camp counselor embraces first love and self-acceptance as she finds her place in the Deaf community.

“Proves love is a universal language.”—Kasie West, author of Sunkissed and The Fill-In Boyfriend

“A beautifully nuanced representation of Deaf culture and what it means to find your voice in a society that doesn’t want to listen.”—Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys

Lilah is stuck in the middle. At least, that’s what having a hearing loss seems like sometimes—when you don’t feel “deaf enough” to identify as Deaf or hearing enough to meet the world’s expectations. But this summer, Lilah is ready for a change.

When Lilah becomes a counselor at a summer camp for the deaf and blind, her plan is to brush up on her ASL. Once there, she also finds a community. There are cute British lifeguards who break hearts but not rules, a YouTuber who’s just a bit desperate for clout, the campers Lilah’s responsible for (and overwhelmed by)—and then there’s Isaac, the dreamy Deaf counselor who volunteers to help Lilah with her signing.

Romance was never on the agenda, and Lilah’s not positive Isaac likes her that way. But all signs seem to point to love. Unless she’s reading them wrong? One thing’s for sure: Lilah wanted change, and things here . . . they’re certainly different than what she’s used to.
