About this deal

Normally, if consent isn’t written out but there are no issues, I don’t take much issue, although I’d like for consent to be verbalized more.

I mean, I'm not exactly handicapped, but I totally got his suck-it-up-buttercup, don't-let-others-know-how-I-feel attitude. There are legitimate blind people out there who have to live every day for the rest of forever without sight so it just felt so bratty and unlikeable, but not in a good way. I think part of the reason this was never addressed is because we spent SO MUCH time on Weston flashbacks, especially considering he isn't even the protagonist.And some of his flashbacks and his attitude is where the real harm comes in, and I can see it in al the 5 star reviewers who think Weston is inspirational without acknowledging that again, he does not care about consent, and he is actually spreading a very harmful message about disability. The ending was perfect, and there wasn't much else to say but I felt like it should have gone on longer. I mean, the guy makes waffles and plays a yellow ukulele while trying to help the heroine see the brighter side of life. And because she can’t see him, she treats him with contempt — screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back.

It’s one of my favorite books, and I love how we follow the journey that Jessica takes after she loses her leg. I wanted to see how her writing was next to her advice and I am not joking: it was just an incredible experience to read! recommend this book and I 11/10 recommend reading it on the porch with a refreshing drink and lots of sunshine.I loved how far he was willing to go to maintain the charade, and how we got to see the rare slip-up. All in all, I think 100 Days of Sunlight is a very promising debut, and I am excited to see where Emmons will go next with her writing career!

Honestly, the entire premise is so shaky for me to begin with, because blind people get by just fine everyday, even running blogs and writing. Having scrolled through other people’s reviews, it seems like this book is targeted for a Christian girl aged 16 – 19 who likes squeaky clean novels. As a high school English teacher, I also feel that this will be a great addition to our school library due to the content and the powerful message of hope and resilience.He sticks around because Tessa treats him like an able-bodied person instead of treating him like he's fragile now because he's disabled. After reading other reviews and finding out that there are a lot of subtle faith/religious themes, I'm glad I didn't finish this one.

But if the not being able to type wasn't bad enough, when I first started listening and she explained how the only thing she could do with her IPHONE-ONE OF THE MOST ACCESSIBLE DEVICES IN THE WORD was ask Siri the weather, well I had to stop and take a breath and I was only a few minutes in. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. When she's not writing or dreaming up new stories, you can find her reading a book or binge-watching BBC Masterpiece dramas in her cozy Vermont home with a cup of tea. I'm very much of the opinion that someone doesn't have to ask every single time if it's okay to kiss someone else. Honestly, I think this would have been that much more unique if the relationship between Tessa and Weston was kept platonic.I understand that not everyone reads the directions their doctors give them, but to deliberately disregard what they said in that fashion didn’t sit well with me.
