I didn't know what to expect with this book, but I was eager to find out. I've only been a member of Uppercase Box for three months but I've found all the books Lisa's curated to be great reads, even if they weren't a book I would have naturally sought out for myself. This is a contemporary YA novel, which is a bit out of my normal fair. The protagonist and narrator is Parker Grant, a junior in high school who lost her eyesight and her mother in an accident when she was younger, and her dad just three short months ago.

I really liked Parker. She put up walls and set up rules to protect herself, and over the course of her book, discovers that she's only isolating and hurting herself in the end. She has a set of devoted friends who she has to learn to let in more than she has, to also to make new friends. This is a book about seeing other people differently and changing impressions. First impressions -- kneejerk impressions -- and Parker's one-strike-and-you're-out philosophy with life have to change in order for Parker to grow and become comfortable again with her life, and for her to admit to herself that her rigid view regarding people might not be the best strategy.

Also, there was an honest depiction of grief which I appreciated, and I found myself crying along with the book at a certain point. Well done.
