(W)hole (2nd Edition) Review
Title: (W)hole (2nd Edition)
Author: Ruth Madison
Available in eBook?: Yes
Genre: Contemporary YA Romance
Final Verdict: Buy
My Take: Ruth Madison has returned to her debut novel, making some tweaks and filling out the story so that we now get alternate chapters between the two main characters. Although the pacing is off at times, it makes for a stronger, more cohesive piece than the original. The subject matter: a young woman dealing with her attraction to disability, gives a different perspective, and the characters are intriguing and sympathetic. This unique coming-of-age story is a worthwhile read, especially for anyone curious about the “devotee” label.

What I Didn’t Say Review
Title: What I Didn’t Say
Author: Keary Taylor
Available in eBook?: Yes
Genre: Contemporary YA Romance
Final Verdict: Buy (with reservations)
My Take: Muteness is not seen often in literature, even less so than many other disabilities, and What I Didn’t Say is a unique romance since it’s told exclusively from the male protagonist’s perspective. Although it gets off to a slow start, it is a sweet story, albeit marred by a lack of research on the author’s part and a distasteful view toward ASL.

His Eyes Review
Title: His Eyes
Author: Reneé Carter
Available in eBook?: Yes
Genre: Contemporary YA Romance
Final Verdict: Buy (with reservations)
My Take: His Eyes is a sweet, simple YA book marred by genre tropes, leaps of faith, and a lack of development.
