A lovely short read in which Lucy Edwards shares her sight loss journey from childhood through to adulthood. It is a story of loss and grief, but also happiness and love. I thought it was a fascinating insight into her life. Whilst I enjoyed it primarily as a memoir, there are some self-help elements at the end of each chapter that some readers may find helpful and could inspire some self-reflection.

Prior to reading this I had seen some of the author's social media, but I knew very little of her background. I think fans of Lucy Edwards will enjoy the sneak peak into her life and history, but it is definitely accesible and interesting even for those who have never heard of her. I read the kindle version, but I believe the audiobook version is read by the author herself. It already very much comes across with a strong sense of voice, as if she is chatting casually with you, so I think this could be a positive for audiobook readers.

This is written as a self-help book for people going through trauma, but I read it as an account of Lucy Edwards losing her sight and how she comes through it.
It’s a positive and motivational read, despite the heartbreak of hearing about the initial devastation of Lucy’s sight loss.
I liked the sections where her family members and partner answer questions about their response to Lucy’s blindness, and also liked Lucy’s own Q&A in which she answers the questions she gets asked - sometimes very personal ones.
I would definitely recommend this as an interesting memoir; I’ll leave it to others who are using it more as a self-help guide to comment on that aspect of it.

I have loved following Lucy online for years especially her makeup videos so I was really excited to learn more about her journey to success.

As someone dealing with loss this was the perfect book to help me process my thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend it for anyone facing a similar situation since unfortunately we all deal with it at some point in our lives
