Abby Heringer shares her accounts of growing up deaf and with a cochlear implant. Abby’s recount is informative and general. The (ghostwriter’s) writing is clear and easy to understand alongside’s Heringer’s linear storytelling. It was unfortunate hearing her negative experience with the Deaf community. I think she had a decent balance between sharing her sister’s  relationship & journey versus her own with her implants and speech-directed upbringing. 

I watched Abby the Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, and these chapters are minimal and an overview compared to the rest of this book. You don’t need to watch her season/know her from this franchise to read this book. I was interested though in learning more about accommodations that the producers made for her if asked for.
