They also sound really stupid and all seem unable to form a coherent thought without using the word "like", "um" or other space fillers. This is especially evident if you look at each gender separately. Second problem: All minor characters sound the same. Too many subplots and side stories here coupled with tedious explanations in matter- of-fact sentences can make this a boring read. ![]() The length is already 416 pages (although my copy was 394 and the font was giant) which is fairly long for a stand-alone, and yet it is still lacking a strong focus on a core issue. For instance, Claire's suicide, Logan's crush on Zach, Emma's crush on Seb (All her crushes actually.), her newfound friendship with Annabelle. The major problem is that there are too many things happening at once, too many events the book introduces that don't get resolved properly. It chronicles Emma's journey as she deals with the obstacles coming her way. The novel takes place a year after Emma lost her sight, just as she's starting grade 10 in her old high school. I received this book from the First Reads program. ![]()
