Sometimes silence is louder.
Sixteen-year-old Owen Kelly doesn’t believe in miracles – not after losing the one person who ever truly saw him. Caught in a storm of grief and emotional static, he retreats into his sketchbook, trying to make sense of a world that suddenly feels out of tune.
But an accidental meeting with a boy who doesn’t speak changes everything. When Korean-Irish Jun-ho Lee crashes into his life, Owen’s world shifts. Quiet, observant, and Deaf, Jun communicates through gestures and glances, drawing Owen into a new kind of conversation.
As they navigate school, family, and their own tangled lives, Owen is forced to confront the silence inside him. But when the outside world closes in, Owen and Jun must fight not just to stay together, but to be heard in a world that never listens.
The Sound of You is a tender, slow-burn queer romance (western YA meets Korean BL) about finding your voice when the world goes quiet. Perfect for fans of Heartstopper, I’ll Give You the Sun, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
