Firstly I’d like to say that my actual
rating is a 3.5 and not a 3.
This has been the first book to grip me almost instantly in a long time.
Firstly we meet Nova, who was born blind, but has the opportunity to have an operation to give her the gift of sight!
I fell in love with Nova very quickly and understood her doubts and reservations about the operation, being blind is all she’s ever known and the idea is the unknown and being able to see is something that scares and excites her at the same time, as someone with a disability I totally get that, I honestly don’t think I would get rid of my cerebral palsy if I was ever given the option, I don’t think I’d be the same person without it.
The majority of the book is Nova learning to use her new eyes and adapting to having sight and learning to live in a world that feels completely new to her.
We also meet Kate, who is in a very volitile relationship with Tony.
Kate and Nova meet at the hospital and strike up a friendship, will it amount to more?
I don’t want to say too much incase I spoil the story.
I absolutely adored the first 320 pages of this book, however I felt like the author lost the plot of the story after that and wasn’t sure where it was leading. The last 85 pages dragged and felt unnecessary.
On the whole though, I would recommend this book!
