I enjoyed reading this book, and well, thats all. I loved having a blind girl as the main character and the fact that the evil in this story comes from a place of pure realism gave me goosebumps whenever i picked up this book. Sometimes the aknowledgement that the things that take place in a book happen commonly in real life can be a real eye opener. Sadly, the book wasn't really long, and although i found it in the young adults section of my local library, it felt like the kind of book your school would assign you to read with your tutor or have read out in an assembly about drug trafficking or gang crime. I didn't find myself dreading reading this though, and i finished it within a day so that is a good sign. I recommend this if you're trying to get yourself back into reading after a long break for sure.
