Teen realistic fiction. Fulfills "Yellow Cover" category in the Pioneer Book Challenge.
I happened to have this book checked out from the library and it happened to have a yellow cover so I thought it was perfect to add another checklist on my book challenge chart. This is narrated from two perspectives -- Tessa and Weston. This is a fairly common way to write a teenage romance novel. Yet, although there is romance involved, it was far more than just two love sick teenagers.
Tessa has been in an accident that robs her of her sight. Weston has also been the victim of an accident which left him a paraplegic. Weston helps Tessa through some tough days in the months after losing her eyesight and he finds it incredibly refreshing that she does not know that he does not have legs. She treats him "normally" and he revels in that. Her blindness is not permanent, however, and in the end she has to find out about Weston's permanent disability.
Recommend: Yes.
