What I Didn't Say by Keary Taylor

This was a very heartwarming and touching story! The author has personal experience because she herself has lost her hearing in her right ear. 

Jake Hayes is a senior. He’s a football player and their team has just won a game. Jake and two of his friends got drunk one night and they ended up crashing the car. He lost the ability to speak. His two friends got off with only broken bones, but they healed eventually. 

Jake has two choices: he can just be depressed about being mute or he can learn from his mistake and keep living his life. 

Then there’s Samantha Shay. Jake has been in love with her since he first saw her their freshman year, but he has never told her that he loves her and now he might never be able to do so. Samantha is pretty much on track to be the valedictorian of their school. She’s perfect and Jake loves everything about her. 

However, this year there’s something going on with Samantha. She looks tired and she seems to have lost weight. As Jake tries to get used to being a mute, he also grows closer to Samantha Shay, the only girl he’s ever loved. Does Samantha love him back?

The verdict: Great story and if you’re a fan of YA Romance, then this book is definitely for you! The chemistry between Samantha and Jake was amazing and Jake was really sweet. It shows how true their love was and that Jake would take care of Samantha no matter what. They were meant to be together.
