Book Description

Sometimes silence is louder.Sixteen-year-old Owen Kelly is grieving. Since his grandfather died, he’s retreated into sketchbooks and shadows, where the world can’t touch him—and he doesn’t have to explain why he’s falling apart.But then Jun-ho Lee crashes into his life. Literally.Jun is Deaf, half-Korean, and new to Dublin. He doesn’t speak with his mouth, but every glance, gesture, and half-smile says more than words ever could. When he asks Owen to draw him, something sparks—an unspoken connection that neither of them can ignore.As their bond deepens through shared silence and stolen moments, Owen finds himself falling. But when the outside world starts pushing in, they’ll have to decide if what they’ve found is strong enough to hold on to—and loud enough to be heard.The Sound of You is a tender, slow-burn queer YA romance about grief, found family, and learning to listen with your heart.Because, in the end, maybe silence is all that matters.
