I know other reviews have mentioned the language and stuff so I won't try to do a content review here but GUYS read this book okay?

And nowhere in the book does it seem like he regrets this choice or has a huge epiphany or learning moment where he realizes he's wrong. Maybe it was my one-star experience there that turned me off, or maybe I just got tired of seeing the same old problems in books written for that age group. Faith is a tricky topic for some of us, and religion has played a part in the trauma of too many people to count--myself included.I would recommend this to anyone who wanted to have some positive and good and healthy disability representation in their lives. I absolutely adored this book and will purchase a copy for my classroom library when it is published.

C) To make her empathize more with people who are disabled long-term, which I guess she didn't do before being temporarily blinded? The yellowness and aesthetic of it is so gorgeous, and I love the cover so much I ended up taking a ton of aesthetic-looking pictures in the backyard with it. Maybe the author was trying to mimic poetry or something, because I get that Tessa is a poet, but the way it read didn't give me that impression at all.

FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book for promotional purposes from Netgalley. At first, I was willing to ignore some of my issues because I thought they would get resolved, but when I kept reading and matters were only getting worse instead of better, my opinion started to change. The writing in this book – everyone from Tessa’s poems to the dialogue to the imagery – just felt average. I understand that not everyone reads the directions their doctors give them, but to deliberately disregard what they said in that fashion didn’t sit well with me.
