One of the best covers I have seen in a while! So eye catching and relevant to the story. While I sometimes find YA novels a bit overdone, this story was very captivating and very well considered and the characters felt very real to me. Highly recommended.

Wow, YA recommendation coming your way! This book is called 100 days of sunlight by Abbie Emmons and is released 07/08/19. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC



When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside-down. Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile¿and no legs.Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition - no one can tell Tessa about his disability. 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. But for Weston, it's the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes back. Again and again and again.Tessa spurns Weston's "obnoxious optimism", convinced that he has no idea what she's going through. But Weston knows exactly how she feels and reaches into her darkness to show her that there is more than one way to experience the world. As Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him - and Weston can't imagine life without her. But he still hasn't told her the truth, and when Tessa's sight returns he'll have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessa's world or overcome his fear of being seen.

This book explores the senses, explores the emotions behind these senses and also builds a powerful relationship between two people. After recently reading a different book about blindness I felt more involved with this story! I read it in a day and struggled to put it down! Definitely one to add to your TBR!

Outstanding! Emmons writes with gorgeous mastery of emotions, especially worthy in this book about overcoming limitations and fear. The interplay between characters positively sings, and we get all the feels in their dance of closeness/rage. I didn't feel the usual YA themes and conflicts here. Like many kids have to deal with real pain, here they step beyond any clichés into some kind of magic about deciding to connect. I also loved the element of facing change. This marvelous novel pounds at the heart, provides amazing visuals (the flowers!) and stands out for its originality. This is a case of a stellar plot, stellar characterization, setting and pace in the hands of a truly talented author. Well done. I loved my time with this story, and I thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for an honest review,

First things first I must say how gorgeous is the cover.? It’s so eye catching and when you look closer you see all the lovely little details within the picture.

I loved the characters of Tessa and Weston and found that this was so much more than your average story as it dealt with many issues including disabilities which kept me very interested throughout.

This is a well written story and very exciting for a first time author. I truly look forward to reading more in the future.

Overall rating 4/5 Stars

Non-Spoiler Review

The summary of this book fascinated me and it absolutely did not disappoint. The whole premise of the book follows Tessa, a blogger, through her journey of being temporarily blinded by a car accident.

I just want to break it down to a few things I adored about this book:

1.) I really enjoyed the character development of this book. I really enjoyed Tessa's relationship with her grandparents and how that also played out in her development as a character.

2.) Descriptions. This book used some amazing descriptive words that captivated me from the very first pages.

3.) This last one may seem shallow, but I love a good book cover and this one is to die for.

Overall I was very pleased with the easy to read writing style as well as the pacing of the plot line. I felt that it was just what I was wanting to read as we head into summer, with some light parts and other portions that really made one question things. It was the perfect blend!

I was so thrilled to be allowed to review and read this amazing book and I can't wait to get a copy for myself when it comes out!!

I tend to stay away from medically related books because they tend to me heavier than I like and the market has been flooded recently, but the cover for this one pulled me in. I'm glad that it did because it was really a great read! I guess knowing that nothing was life threatening helped to keep the story light as did the continual references to sunlight and the use of color throughout the book. I loved the use of the senses, because it really helped to round out the story. This was a light and fast read and would be perfect to take with you on vacation. A blast of positive energy. I really enjoyed the narrative that a handicap is something you have not something you are, and that you choose your perspective and how you'll react to the things that happen in your life. I think that is an important reminder for everyone. A great read, add this one to your shelves!


My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

*Thank you to NetGalley for giving me this ARC.

When a book doesn't meet my expectations, it can go two ways. The first is that I end up loving it so much I end up buying it (this is rare because I am a University student and therefore not rolling with cash) and rereading multiple times, consumed by my all flowing love. The second is that I have to push myself to finish it because <i> hey, I already started it and it's a short book and I have to review it </i> till I get to the end and am able to close the book, sigh in relief because it's over and never, ever touch it again.

This was the latter case.

I feel like I'm the only person who read this that didn't love it (as evidenced by the fact that literally every other review I've seen thus far has been a (glowing!) four stars) so take this as you will.

When I first requested this on NetGalley, it was mostly due to three things:

a) eNemIes to lOvers aka one of the most tried and true tropes in literary history (it's successful for a reason guys)

b) interesting premise! how many YA books have you read about a girl who is temporarily blind and is thus forced to spend time with a guy who has two prosthetic legs but keeps it a secret whilst acting as her typist and trying to change her perspective on life?

and c) that cover! Shallow? Yes. But I like graphic design, I can't help it.

Unfortunately, the only thing that I enjoyed in the end was the cover, which doesn't really count for much in literary terms.

Here's why:

I'm a character driven reader, which means I don't actually need a high stakes (or any stakes) plot to enjoy a book. In fact, I typically enjoy contemporaries where 'nothing really happens but things still, y'know, happen' (see: Perks of Being a Wallflower) so the fact that the story promised 100 days of Tessa and Weston being forced to spend time together in her room (no, not like that) did not bother me.

The problem was that I didn't like either of the characters. I'm gonna be real; I thought they were both really...I don't know if boring is the right word, but they felt like book characters, you know? They didn't feel like real people, they felt like YA protagonists in a YA book from a couple of years ago (the Ukulele/polaroid thing reminded me a little too much of 2013 tumblr) and granted yeah, they are, but they're not supposed to feel that way.

Tessa's chapters were supposed to feel emotional, but idk man, I just never really connected with her. If you asked me now, I couldn't tell you anything about her besides the fact that she writes (not great, sorry) poetry and lives with her grandparents and goes to church.

Also, I found some of the lines to be...problematic, for lack of better word. I don't know if it's just me and I can't speak for the blind and disability rep, but there's a line in Tessa's chapter where she says something like,

'Being a girl was hard enough, but being a blind girl was even harder'

Like...I get that Tessa's supposed to be miserable and frustrated because she just lost her sight; anyone would---but I felt that the way blindness was portrayed came across as insensitive. Especially in a later scene where she goes out to a bookstore and is basically manhandled by someone, which leads her to proclaiming that she's 'weak' due to her handicap. I don't think this was an unrealistic reaction, but they never really address it?? Idk it just feels like they never consider that blind people who, unlike Tessa don't have any chances of getting their sight back (if they had it at all), get on with their lives perfectly fine.

It was a similar case with Weston.

His chapters kept pushing how hard he trained or whatever to be this super athlete after the accident (and this happened unrealistically fast btw. he was upset for like a chapter and then all of a sudden was like, 'I need running legs'. Are people this optimistic in real life or am I just cynical?)
where it veered a lot into the category of 'disability is something that you need to overcome!' or 'you have to have an exceptional story to be valid' which is obviously, like, a terrible narrative to push upon people, especially bc there's so little disability rep. I don't think it was the author's intention, but I felt uncomfortable reading it. Sometimes Weston's past chapters made me feel like I was watching an inspirational ad.

In a vaguely related vein, the prose was another reason I couldn't get into it; it wasn't like, horrifyingly bad, but it was v v basic. Tessa and Weston's feelings/arcs are pretty much explained, and so instead of feeling for them, it's like I'm reading about them feeling---you know?

In short, this book wasn't for me.

But clearly it was for a lot of other people, so y'know, kudos for the people who connected w/it. But I wasn't feeling it.

After having a car accident, Tessa wakes up in hospital. And she is blind. The doctors tell her that it's something temporal. Maybe forteen weeks more or less. Tessa starts counting down the days.
She is a writer. And she has her own blog. But, obviously, she can't write right now. Her grandparents want to help her. So they think about publishing an ad on the newspaper looking for someone who can write what Tessa dictates.
Tessa refuses but Wenston, the newspaper owner's son hears about her. He offers his help.
And I am not saying anything else. I don't want to ruin the book for you. But I will tell you that this book is a beautiful lesson. We always tend to think that our problems are worse than the problems other people have. But the truth is we don't really know. Llife depends on your attitude. Nothing else.
This book is fantastic. You will love it! And Wenston, you are lucky that I'm much older than sixteen. YOU ARE PERFECT.
Please, Abbie Emmons, consider writing a second book. I will love it!!

I loved this book, it was cute and had a great message. Weston is the absolute best. At the beginning I was a little annoyed by Tessa, after all her blindness was only temporary, but I also get it from hanging out with teenagers as day life is hard enough as it is. The book was a little hard for me to get into because Tessa was so negative in the first 20 pages or so but once Weston was introduced in more detail I was hooked. My only critique is I worry about it downplaying mental health issues with depression. It was great that Weston and Tessa were able to overcome their challenges through sheer will power and friends, but this is not the case for everyone. I am definitely going to be recommending this book to my future students next year!

I absolutely adored this YA romance. It is wholesome and totally appropriate for a younger audience but sweet and fun for adults as well. This book is perfect for fans of The Sun is Also a Star and To All The Boys I've Loved Before. The story looks at what happens when you can no longer depend on your sight. Tessa learns to use her other senses with the help of Weston. He is a 16-year-old boy with an outgoing personality and no legs. He is the only one who knows what it is like to lose something you depend on every day. Despite trying to push him away, Weston comes to visit Tessa and help her learn to really "see". Even though you will guess the ending of the book (It has a very fairy tale feel to it), it is well written and I became emotional while reading it. It is a perfect book to sit and binge read.

In early May, I requested an ARC for Abbie Emmon’s debut novel, 100 Days of Sunlight. Long story short, my request was accepted and I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. I’m going to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible (I hope food doesn’t count as spoilers for you!), so let’s jump right in.

Disclaimer: I received this ARC for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.


What I liked:

So many things happened in the book, but one thing I absolutely love about it is how it sings of Abbie’s personality. 100 Days looks like the result of someone making a list of things they like and then mixing everything to create a glorious batter of happiness.

The story opens with a bang, immediately hooking and engaging me. I mean, seriously. I had an exam the next morning and I stayed up past midnight reading. And then I had to make myself stop because uh, self-discipline.

Abbie’s style also vaguely resembles C. G. Drews’ writing due to a couple of stylistic choices. I find that a good thing because I love Cait’s voice, but don’t worry, 100 Days is still completely and totally Abbie’s.

Also, all. The. Food. Ohhh my goodness. Anyone who knows Abbie knows she is the Waffle Queen. So what does 100 Days have? Waffles. WAFFLES. And not only waffles, but chocolate. Do not read this book if you want to avoid waffle cravings. I just adore it when food is so effortlessly weaved into books because, come on. Food is good.

I have so much respect for Abbie for making Tessa blind, because writing blindness is tough. You rely a lot on the character to describe what they see, so weaving a picture of an environment can be quite a challenge using the four remaining senses. Never having been blind before, I don’t know how much of Tessa’s experience is accurate, but yay for more disability rep in fiction.

Same goes for Weston. I loved his personality and I admired him for learning how to cope with his disability. He and Tessa played off super well (great enemies to lovers trope right there!) and I was all there for it. If you’re not into cussing though, you should probably be warned that Weston swears a fair bit. It’s pretty mild, but in my opinion it was used very well and in all the right places. Because of that, I don’t mind it.

Going back to Weston, that boy is so stupidly flawed. I wanted to reach into the book and tell him “no, don’t do that” but he’s just so stubborn and adorable and I absolutely love him. Plus, the details of how he lost his legs made me want to cry, and Weston does actually cry. So… yay for boys crying?

The humor in 100 Days was done incredibly well. Books don’t usually make me laugh – the most they get out of me is a wide smile – but oh my gosh, one joke actually had me laughing out loud. 10/10 humor, would totally recommend.

And #Westess is too cute. Tessa and Weston have so many moments in the story that were so flippin’ adorable and I ship it so, so much.

On a more serious note, the message of fighting and getting back up again actually hit me personally. Those who know me in real life may know that I kind of struggle with social anxiety. A couple of hours before I finished this book, I had a pretty bad relapse – but 100 Days reminded me that I don’t have to let this control me. And I want to fight back more than ever and keep tossing social anxiety out the window all day, every day, until it’s no longer a problem for me.


What I didn’t like:

Honestly, the only thing I can truly complain about is the pacing. 100 Days is Fast with a capital F. The events just fly by and before you know it, the book is over. I think the book is around 72K, but I felt like I just whizzed through it.

I mean, I kinda wanted more Tessa and Weston XD


So why should you read 100 Days of Sunlight?

If YA contemporary romance is your thing, I would recommend this book to you. Lovable main characters, waffles, emotions, cuteness, a great message… so much goodness in this book. (Also uh it’s kind of made it to #2 on my list of favorite fiction books so uh that must count for something, right?)


Personal rating: 4.5 stars.

I loved this it hit some hard topics but it still told a great story and it will make you cry alittle

This is a strong debut novel from author Abbie Emmons. First, I loved the cover. It's perfect for the text. Second, I loved the premise of the book. Tessa is in a car accident which leaves her blind for about 100 days. Since she is a blogger, her grandparents put an ad in the newspaper for someone to help her write. Even though the ad is retracted, Weston hears about the ad and offers to help. Tessa and Weston. They are the third reason I loved this book. These are characters readers will relate to and love. I also liked how the author included Weston's backstory so that we could understand him a bit better. While there are some areas of the book that I would have liked to see developed a bit more, this was a strong story from this author. I can't wait to read more of her books in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really loved this book!
The storyline was really amazing and flowed well enough to keep my intreat through the whole book.
There’s was some pretty tough topics discussed in this book and I felt the author did amazing.
I gave it 4 stars.

After being involved in a car accident, 16-year-old blogger Tessa Dickinson loses her eyesight for 100 days. Dealing with post traumatic transient cortical blindness and PTSD, Tessa is locking herself into her room not wanting to deal with the outside world and her blog. Tessa's grandparents can't help but wondering if the best thing she can do is to get back into writing poetry for her blog. But Tessa is not happy at all with her grandparents decision to place an ad in the local newspaper.

Enter Weston Ludovico, who happens to be in the room with his father-editor of the newspaper, when Tessa's grandfather calls to pull the ad. Curious about the ad and Tessa, Weston, who understands better than anyone how afraid and angry Tessa is, thinks he might be able to help her. With her grandparents approval Weston is allowed to visit Tessa and help her with her blog. But Weston has one condition: no one can tell Tessa about his disability.

I loved the writing style of this book, with each chapter alternating between Tessa's and Weston's point of view. As we learn how Weston's disability has formed him, we read how Tessa is slowly opening up to Weston's “obnoxious optimism”. They grow closer as Weston helps Tessa 'seeing' the world through her senses, adding a new layer to her 'sight' with every sense.

This was such a lovely read, making me reconnect with my own senses. A perfect read for the summer!

I really enjoyed this book- it had well-written main characters and a sweet slow-burn romance. What really struck me and made this book unique and not your stereotypical YA romance (though maybe it actually is) was the fact that Tessa and Weston, the two sixteen-year-old main characters who (you guessed it) slowly fall in love is that they're both disabled, at least temporarily.

Tessa, the female main character, got hit by a drunk driver and temporarily lost her sight completely for around a hundred days. Weston has prosthetic legs after (stupidly, I might add) trying and failing a horribly dangerous stunt. Teenagers, you know? The premise of this book involves Tessa, a poetry blogger prior to her accident, not wanting any help to publish her poems and continue blogging (since she obviously can't by herself) and Weston, our stupidly sweet and optimistic MC continuing to help her until he starts teaching her about her other senses.

A main theme in this book that was creative and well-written was the whole idea about using your other senses. Emmons was right- we tend to take our senses for granted and only use our sight. Tessa, through losing her vision, learned to rely on and appreciate other senses- smell, hearing, taste, and touch. The book was divided into five parts: Smell, Hearing, Taste, Touch, and Sight. 

The writing was smooth and neatly done. Abbie Emmons really made you love the characters. Some might think Tessa is ungrateful and plain rude, especially compared to Weston, but I do think that she was just reacting to the circumstances around her- I mean, she was blind, okay?- and afterward with Weston's help she learned to be more patient and enjoy the world in all its glory.

Weston, that dearie, is sweet and compassionate towards Tessa, yet you can also see that sometimes annoyingly stubborn side of him. His character was well-developed and those two sides of him were merged nicely and didn't seem out of place. It was really nice to read about his accident and the time-travel; jumping back a few years. Weston was an interesting and lovable male protagonist and I really liked the fresh perspective on life that he brought- one lesson that anyone can learn from 100 Days of Sunlight is from Weston.

He never gave up. Weston took whatever life threw at him and dealt with it. He cursed in life's face and spat at the feet of everyone who doubted him. Weston is a truly inspiring protagonist and can teach us all a lesson.

The reason this book lost a star in rating was because Tessa's character seemed like a fairly typical teen girl in the YA romance genre. Most girls are written the same way, and although it was quite nice to see her throwing fits and standing up for herself (even if she was wrong), she mostly fit the label of a stereotypical teen girl.

Also, there was a scene that almost edged into sexual harassment and poor Tessa reacted accordingly and was shell-shocked and frightened. I personally think that that incident was glossed over and Tessa and Weston should have talked it over and he should have comforted Tessa instead of brushing it in the closet.

This book, although really nicely written and with interesting circumstances, lacked racial diversity and queer representation completely. We have two white, straight, cis-gender protagonists who are blonde and blue-eyed. One is Christian, one is atheist. I mean, how much more stereotypical can one get? I wish Abbie Emmons had written other sorts of people into it because we all deserve to see ourselves in books.

Other than those three reasons, 100 Days Of Sunlight was a great book and everyone who enjoys YA romance should grab a copy as soon as it releases, on August 7th this year!

This story was very enjoyable to read. Weston – a teenage wounded hero – seemed more fictional than real sometimes, but, all in all, proved to be a unique, genuine character, a reckless, broken boy, full of charm and light.
Weston is an adorable youngster, a Beta hero with a savior complex. I think I liked him even more when he’s interacting with his brothers and parents and his friend Rudy, than in the romantic context, which seemed a bit too fluffy sometimes. But I really loved what I could see in this boy of the kind of man he will be, and I wish the author, Abbie Emmons, would write his story as an adult.
I felt that both the hero and the author downplayed sometimes the real issues and the gruesome struggles of living with this disability, focusing instead in the ways Weston tried to reinvent himself by, paradoxically, trying to stay the same and be seen or perceived in the same way after the accident.
There’s a terrific description of the horrifying accident and the further process.
Weston is such a brave boy that delaying the revelation until the very last pages felt a bit at odds with his personality.
Tessa is sort of a regular girl facing a difficult experience.
Some aspects of the disability feel too general or not clear/not addressed: I was wondering if a blind person wouldn’t hear something different in a double amputee’s gait when, for example, climbing stairs? Or why not be practical and use a shower chair. And how it's so difficult at the first time but becomes so easy afterwards (climbing stairs, baths).

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

So first off, I have to say, I LOVE Abbie for her awesome YouTube content. Literally every video she makes on there is jam-packed with great information and motivation to write and chase your dreams! You can tell she has a way with words, and you can tell that she's extremely passionate about her craft.

When I found out she was publishing a book, I was excited but also a little skeptical. I'm not very well-versed in the indie publishing world, but I have read a couple self-published works, and I'll be honest, they weren't all that great. So, though I really enjoy Abbie's video content, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I got approved to read this book.

Also, side note, I'm not the biggest contemporary fan. I mostly read YA fantasy, sci-fi's, dystopians etc. with a little dash of contemporary thrown in every once in a while. Typically, when I read contemporary, I find them to be kinda cheesy and silly.

This story was not that.

I was honestly blown away by how good this story was, especially for a debut. Like I INHALED this book.

This story follows one of our main characters, Tessa, who recently has gotten into a car accident and has temporarily lost her sight and is rightfully struggling to accept this. Cue Weston, our other main character, who comes into Tessa's life to show her that it's okay to be afraid and angry, but it shouldn't stop her from living. It also helps that he's experienced his own trauma that lends a hand in him being able to understand where Tessa's fear is coming from.

One of the things I really loved about this story was the dual perspectives. I'll admit, I liked Weston a lot more than Tessa, but I think that was a little bit intentional. Tessa is struggling in real time, while Weston has overcome his demons and is using his past to help Tessa with her present as well as her future. Weston is there to bring Tessa into the light (see what I did there lol).

Another aspect I found extremely strong in this story was Weston's past. I was SO invested in his story. Reading about his past, knowing already what was soon to come, was heartbreaking and I can say without a doubt he felt REAL. I felt like I knew this boy and I felt for him so hard. And I loved seeing the family dynamics and how each of his siblings dealt with the trauma as well as Weston's own learning curve. I think one of my favorite scenes was the speech he gave in class. He was NOT his disability.

Lastly, the romance was VERY organic. I feel like contemporary romances usually jump straight to love-at-first-sight and kiss by page 8. This, again, was not that. The relationship between Tessa and Weston blossomed beautifully throughout the novel, and I really appreciated that Abbie took her time working them out.


100 Days of Sunlight was incredibly realistic, sad, heartbreaking, annoying, empowering, and just all around a great story.

I think Abbie literally crushed it at her debut, and I'm super stoked to read the next thing she puts out into the universe.

I went into this book expecting a YA book similar to Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon, and I wasn’t wrong or disappointed. Similar to the movie adaption of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, this book focuses almost entirely on the two protagonists with limited exchanges between characters outside of that. This works, however, because of the dual perspective and how meaningful those interactions are.

Tessa is a blogger and poet who is a bit of a shut-in— she prefers the safety of her home and the internet over the unpredictable nature of The Outside World. She’s temporarily blinded after a car accident. With a tentative timeline of 100 days until she gets her sight back, she’s stuck in limbo until then and is absolutely miserable (and understandingly so). I have to say, sometimes when characters are all “oh woe is me” I get annoyed because they tend to take it out on other people and I’m straight up not here for that. However, while Tessa is definitely wallowing in her self-pity a bit, and she does take it out on Weston, I found myself rooting for her particularly because she’s not taking her anger out on her grandparents (except when they advertise for a blog helper without telling her, which, like, fair). And her being snarky with Weston is a) totally understandable because, like, it’s kinda weird he’s just like up in here offering to help and she has every right to be annoyed about the whole situation and b) it’s freaking hilarious.

Weston is lovely and so strong and so brave and quite frankly inspiring. I loved hearing about how he rebuilt his life and how hard he worked to overcome the obstacles he faced. Like he said in the book, 13 is a particularly shitty age to go through this since it’s when everyone really cares what you look like and when everyone likes to be assholes. I went on Goodreads to look for Own Voices opinions on the writing of a disabled character (either for Weston or Tessa) but I didn’t find anything. I’d be really interested in hearing what people with these disabilities think about the portrayal. In my opinion, most of it seemed like it was really accurate.

One thing I think disability-wise might be problematic is how Tessa acts like her whole life is over when she is blinded, and it’s only temporary. Again, I don’t feel like I’m qualified to comment on this so I’d love to hear someone else’s opinion.

I can, however, comment on the unrealistic fading of Tessa’s PTSD. Other than the abrupt start to a chapter indicating her PTSD was fading, I think the portrayal was really spot on. As someone who has PTSD I can tell you it doesn’t go away all at once, and I think she returned to “normal” (for lack of a better way to say this) too smoothly. It’s not a smooth road— at least, not in my experience or in most people’s experience form the reading I’ve done.

As far as the actual writing and such, I really loved the characters’ voices and the complexity of the characters. Weston is an athlete who also brings a girl flowers so she can explore more scents (not much of a spoiler, I don’t think!) and does other really cute things that aren’t “masculine”. I did have trouble with two aspects of the language. One was that every once in a while the writing veered into “purple prose” which made it sound contrived. For example I was never sold on Weston routinely referring to Tessa as a volcano or the expansion of that metaphor. The other thing I struggled with was Weston’s use of “pansyass” which just didn’t sit with me well, perhaps because it vaguely sounds like they’re implying they’re “weak like a girl” but that could totally be me reading too much into it.

I read 100 Days of Sunlight as an advanced copy. Tessa was in a car accident and loses her sight. Doctors believe it is transient and expect her sight to return in about 3 months. She’s withdrawn and struggling, until a boy shows up at her door who can relate to what she’s going through and helps her rediscover the world. ⁣
⁣
I loved this YA book and I’d give it a 4/5! I liked the transformation of Tessa’s character and the strength of Weston. It is a debut novel from Abbie Emmons and will be released on August 7th. Keep an eye out for it! ⁣

Thank you to @netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
