The sensational debut YA of 2016 that everyone will be talking about.
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.
When Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart, suddenly reappears at school, Parker knows there's only one way to react – shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough to deal with already, like trying out for the track team, handing out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened – both with Scott, and her dad – the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem.
Not If I See You First illuminates those blind spots that we all have in life, whether visually impaired or not.

Genre- YA
My rating - 4 stars
My review-
Not just a teen love story, Not if I see you first offers so much more.
It's about the grieving of a girl who has lost so much and is just beginning to find out who she is and where she belongs. It's about love and truth and acceptance. It's about giving yourself goals and sticking to them and about chasing dreams.
This book is a well written YA with great teenage characters with all their true to life contradictions. It's an easy read and is actually quite a positive book. Lindstrom has done well to write this in a teenage girls perspective.
