Not If I See You First
Not If I See You First | Eric Lindstrom
The debut YA novel of 2016 that everyone will be talking about. Parker Grant doesn't need perfect vision to see right through you. That's why she created the Rules: Don't treat her any differently just because she's blind, and never take advantage. There will be no second chances. When Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart, suddenly reappears at school, Parker knows there's only one way to react shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough to deal with already, like trying out for the track team, handing out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened both with Scott, and her dad the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem. Combining a fiercely engaging voice with true heart, Not If I See You First illuminates those blind spots that we all have in life, whether visually impaired or not.

So Parker isn't the stereotypical blind girl. Awesome. She doesn't like "charity" Okay, but if someone offers to help you you shouldn't be so eager to prove them wrong. Maybe it's different for fully blind people vs visually impaired people.

theresidentromantic I feel like a situation like that is mostly anger talking. If she doesn't want pity, the best thing to do is educate! I hope she resolves her issues in the book and it isn't the writer being ignorant of how an impaired character might feel or act. 6y

In Braille it says "seeing is not believeing" then for each chapter there is also Braille above it. Really cool cover, and, the Braille is tactical. (I don't need to feel it to know what it says)

BookwormM Wow I read an ARC of this ages ago and assumed the brail said what the cover said interesting to know what it really says 6y
Booknerd222 There is also a page in the back with Braille on it from the author I'm pretty sure. 6y

When I'm sad I watch "What Would You Do?"
It makes me cry. From happiness and sadness. But sometimes you just gotta cry it out.
This show gives me so much faith in people. It makes me a lot less terrified of the world we live in.
I don't know if I'll even read tonight. This show is exactly what I need right now.

knittedgnome I love that show!! Maybe you need a good happy book to read? 6y
blondie @knittedgnome Maybe :) I'll have to look through my shelves. 6y
TheKidUpstairs I LOVE What Would You Do? For all the same reasons. Sorry that you're feeling sad. If you need someone to talk or vent to, Litsy is a safe space, or feel free to email me at megansbrady@gmail.com 6y

Trashcanman I hope tomorrow is kinder. 😊 6y
blondie @Trashcanman Thank you! I'm so nervous for tomorrow, but I really hope so too :) 6y
Trashcanman I hope when you look back on your day tomorrow night you discover that all the worry and nervousness was for not. 6y
TricksyTails I love that show too! Restores my faith in humanity. Somewhat. Kind of. A little. 🤣 I‘m sending you the biggest hug. Ready? *HUUUUUUUUUUUG* ♥️♥️♥️ 6y

?"Parker Grant doesn't need 20/20 vision to see right through you."?

*waves hands* Hello! Instagram's algorithm is awful right now, so I thought I might try this thing out. I'm not going to leave bookstagram, this is just something new.

So I read this book earlier in the year and I really enjoyed it, however some parts really ruined the book for me. It was mostly just that the main character is really horrible to her friends which I just couldn't understand or relate too at all.

However, the story is cute and I loved how the main character changes towards the end because it really improved the story

So, heres the thing... first I was confused because theres a lot going on, but as I settled in with Parker I began to fall in love with the honest and genuine story of life, love, relationships, and heart break; and even the stupid moments, too... its a lot to take in, but trust me: you will not regret one minute!

I loved reading Parker Grant's story, and I like where it ended, but I so wish there was more! 💯🥰✌🏻

A high school story featuring a main character who just so happens to have a disability, but is in now way held back by it, we need more of this kind of story on our shelves!

I thought this was a great YA read! Really liked the main character, in all her flaws. I appreciate so much when a character isn't perfect. Makes them more real.

I'm not crying you're crying! I read this book in one go and how could you not? Parker was love-able, stubborn, and so truthful it could hurt and I loved it. The pain was worth it and I am extremely glad I read this book.

This book probably isn't one I would have picked out myself, but I got it a while back in my Uppercase Box sub. I enjoyed it, good read from an author new to YA 👍🏼
