Not If I See You First

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. Not If I See You First illuminates those blind spots that we all have in life, whether visually impaired or not. In Not If I See You First, Eric Lindstrom delves into the world of a special needs teenager dealing with grief and bereavement. This contemporary fiction is a top pick for its exploration of social themes, diversity, and teenage romance. For fans of Whitney Gardner (You're Welcome, Universe), William Sutcliffe (The Summer We Turned Green), Will Hill (After the Fire), Justina Ireland (Dread Nation), and Farah Heron (Tahira in Bloom).
