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.
In Not If I See You First, an independent blind girl navigates high school. Parker struggles with the frustration of being treated differently and thought of as incapable. Parker also has to face grief and the struggles of people from her past.
I enjoyed learning about what life is like for people with vision impairment through Parker’s story. Someone who enjoys the ‘Real Life’ genre would enjoy this book as Parker’s struggle is something that people go through all the time. This book made me grateful for what I have and helped me understand the strength of people with disabilities.
