![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But Ridge has a girlfriend, Maggie, and he doesn’t even want to consider what his conflicted feelings might mean. It makes for a very intimate working relationship. Although he can’t hear, he detects music by feeling the vibrations, which means that when Sydney sings for him, he needs to feel the sounds she makes by being in close contact with her body. Sydney admires Ridge and thinks he is a musical genius. Sydney gets to know Ridge’s other roommates, Bridgette and Warren, each quite entertaining, and becomes increasingly close to Ridge as they work on music together. Ridge: Why didn’t you tell me you could hear?” “Me: Why didn’t you tell me you were deaf? When she moves in, Sydney discovers that Ridge, 24, primarily communicates by text because he is deaf, as we learn from the texts that comprise much of the narrative: Ridge and Sydney aren’t total strangers: they had been communicating by texts and she had even sent him some lyrics for his music. She punches both of them, moves out, and then accepts an offer from the guitar-playing sort-of-stranger named Ridge across the courtyard to take the extra bedroom in his apartment he and his roommates were looking for another roommate anyway. This book begins on Sydney’s 22nd birthday, when she discovers that Hunter, her boyfriend of two years, and Tori, her best friend, have been cheating on her. ![]()
