Pressestimmen
“A smart, sexy, and fast-paced story with a swoon-worthy love interest. Tone Deaf will be music to your ears.” —Jessica Taylor, author of Wandering Wild“Much like its hero, Tone Deaf’s flashy, rock-star exterior surrounds a sweet, vulnerable soul that made it impossible to put down. It is equal parts fun and touching, with a dash of humor and lot of heart. The friendships, as well as the romance, have intense, believable chemistry, and with a giant pitbull named Cuddles thrown in the mix, I was in love!” —Laura Lee Anderson, author of Song of Summer“Tone Deaf is everything that’s best about YA writing—a strong story, well-defined characters we can care about with distinct voices, and the writing is like walking into Hemingway’s well-lighted room. . . . Tone Deaf’s characters will stay with me for a long time.” —Douglas Rees, award-winning author of Vampire High“Olivia Rivers has hit all the right notes with Tone Deaf.” —A. R. Kahler, author of Pale Queen Rising and Shades of Darkness“The portrayal of Ali as Deaf is authentic and modern. She loves rock concerts for the vibrations and sensory pull of the crowd. She prefers to sign but exasperatedly reads the lips of people who talk fast or turn away as they talk. As Ali, Jace, and the band tour amid Amber alerts, surprising emotional connections are painfully forged and will resonate with young survivors of abuse, especially as Ali takes small steps toward recovery. VERDICT This gripping tale of survival has great appeal due to the parallel boy/girl narrative structure, the portrayal of a Deaf character at home in the realm of music and songwriting, and the overall pop culture tenor.” –School Library Journal

Ich habe dieses Buch verschlungen. Die beiden Protagonisten sind hinreißend und die Story toll. Selten habe ich eine Liebesgeschichte über junge Erwachsene (17en und 19en) gelesen, die mir so ans Herz gegangen ist.Ich fand sie mutig und inspirierend und sie setzt sich gleich mit zwei wichtigen Themen auseinander ohne dabei ins Pathetische abzudriften: Missbrauch und Taubheit.Dabei kommt auch die Liebe und die Gefühle und alles drumherum nicht zu kurz.Fazit: Für alle Fans von Young Adult Romanen, Liebesgeschichten und Rockstars genau das Richtige und einer meiner "Must-Reads 2016"
"Tone Deaf" is the second book by Olivia Rivers that I've read and now it's official - I'm a die-hard fan.Between the beautiful writing style, relatable and likeable characters and a strong plot, this is definitely a new favorite of mine.I love how the author isn't scared to tackle difficult topics and how she does so with incredible finesse and tact.Not only did "Tone Deaf" captivate me and take me on an emotional rollercoaster ride, but it also gave me food for thought. It broadened my horizon and let me walk in someone else's shoes for a while.And Ali's and Jace's shoes aren't the most comfortable ones to wear.Ali, a musical genius, has lost her hearing, her mom, her future. All she has now is a will to withstand her father's abuse until she's an adult.Jace is a rockstar - fame, money, women are at his disposal. But all of it leaves him feeling empty, devoid of meaning. Nothing can help him forget his past.Their paths cross when Ali wins a meet and greet. What starts out as a trainwreck, soon becomes Ali's only chance to escape her father.Jace, the arrogant rockstar becomes her knight in no-so-shining armor, letting her travels with his band to help her get away.The trip becomes a journey for both of them. A journey of letting go, of trust, of vulnerability and of letting another person in. And it's a journey that brought me to tears on more than one occasion.Ali could be bitter and miserable considering all she went through and all she's still going through. Yet, despite her paralyzing fears, she doesn't give up hope, doesn't stop making plans. She's broken in her own way. Scared and distrustful since the man who is supposed to love and protect her, is the one who hurts her.I loved how driven she is, fighting for her own future. Despite all the hurt that was caused in her life and all the pain she's feeling, she's a fighter. I loved seeing her growth and the change of learning to let people in, to trust them. Even when it was hard to do.And Jace really doesn't appear trustworthy.A rockstar with a reputation, he is controlling, tactless and brushes people off. The first encounter with him and I was ready to strangle him. But the more I learned, the more his other side - the sweet, caring one - shined through.Yes, he's arrogant and demanding. But he's been hurt before and the demons of his past haunt him every day. And every day he fights against them, trying to be a better version of himself. Once his trust is won, he's loyal to a fault and will fight with all he's got. Underneath the armor of arrogance is a sweet guy wanting to be loved.And it's Ali who coaxes that guy out.Their growth and learning process are both heart-warming and heart-wrenching, because no one should have to learn to be loved.Fact is, I love them both as well as the side characters who add a lot to the story and aren't merely there to move it forward.What really impressed me is how well the author wrote those young characters, giving them substance,, depth and personality.This is a story that will stay with me for a long time to come.5+ serva-me-servabo-te stars.
Thank you, Cheryl Lew and Sky Pony Publishing, for giving me a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.After an illness, musician Ali is deaf and communicates with sign language and lip reading. Through luck of the draw, she wins a backstage meeting with Alec, lead singer of a popular boy band.This book is first and foremost a typical (albeit well-written) generic romance story. Girl meets boy, they do not like each other, fate throws them together, they start to grow fond of each other, everything is wonderful, the great catastrophe happens, rescue and happy end. It is predictable and simple, with few characters and plot lines, straight forward and easy bedtime reading.What makes this book different and fascinating, however, is the diversity and the issues. There is a gay couple, a bisexual boy, and of course deaf characters and deaf culture. All of these were handled well and made for some interesting moments. And yes, a deaf girl and music are not mutually exclusive. The other thing to spice up the cookie-cutter romance was the parental abuse (trigger warning for that!). One might argue that having two characters suffer from it was a touch too much, but it made for a good emotional connection between them. The abuse was shown poignantly and touching, and - as far as I can tell - very realistic.Connecting to that, the emotions and just the characters overall were great, as well. Their development, history and feelings really added value and personality to this book. The various friendships were amazing to read about, as well. Add to that a solid writing style without any excess words, and this novel deserves 3,5/5 stars for representation done well.
