Jake, the main character, is someone with a huge heart and a good head on top of his shoulders. He knows what is important, and despite what happens to him, he didn't sulk a lot, and instead focused on the important things, such as Samantha's situation.
I did not see coming what was going with Samantha. It took me completely by surprise, and made me love all the characters involved even more.
Samantha was brave and smart, but she has fear of letting herself love people, because of what happened to her parents. I thought that was rather silly, and cliché. She wasn't necessarily going to repeat her parents's story, and it was dumb to fear something that could possibly not happen. If we let fear take over our lives, we wouldn't do anything at all!
So, yeah, when she starts hanging out with Jake, their lives start to change, for the better. He realized that are worse things in the World than being mute, and she realized that sometimes it's okay to let people help you, and into your life.
The romance between them was really sweet. It's completely obvious that they're both crazy for each other.
I loved reading his thoughts, the things he wanted to say when she was around him, and how at times, she said the exact same thing he wished he could say.
His family is this huge, supportive family, with a lot of people with different personalities, but who love one another no matter what. I loved to read when all the Hayes brothers and sisters were together, and when their mom threw those big meals for everyone who wanted to go. It was really sweet how they all accepted Sam into their family, like it was nothing.
I completely recommend this book, full of drama, romance, and companionship, that leaves a great message to all their readers: Always say what you're afraid to say.
