So good!
As someone with a disability, I found no fault with this movie. It' sad and heart breaking. but it touched on some of the thoughts myself have had. Great performances and great for catharsis.

I am chronically ill and managing my son’s disability. Though I have had time to sit and watch movies lately, I haven’t had time to write reviews. Must rectify this grave injustice in the New Year. Happy Holidays to all of you!

The description was way more exciting than the actual book. A book filled with self-deprecation, exposition that leads down rabbit holes, and whiny. Where the main character thinks that being wierd is tantamount to having a disability. Maybe this book will find someone who enjoys it; however that someone isn't me.

Imagine your a 16 year old girls who has just lost her sight. Who has be plunged into darkness in more way than one. This is what happens to Tessa in this story. Tessa is struggling to comes to terms with her disability when Weston comes along. He has a disability of his own, but Tessa can't see that, and he uses his experience to bring her out of the darkness and teaches her there is more than one way to see.

This is a story of growth, a story where two people save each other from their own barriers.

If you like A Fault in Their Stars or Everything, Everything you are going to love this! It is grasping from the outset. Each chapter lures you in more. You get tangled within the relationship. You get heartbroken from hearing the thoughts of Weston about his disability. And you feel joy when Tessa sees past it all!

I thoroughly enjoyed this read....and will definitely be reading it again soon. It is written so it's easy to read and the storyline is simple, slightly predictable but one that keeps you reading and engaged.
