I want to start this review by saying something nice. The author took the time to write this book. It's full of sentences, and paragraphs, and I understood what this person was saying. That's an accomplishment in and of itself. They also got the book published, and it was printed out and shipped off to various places, and it actually ended up in the hands of strangers who read it. Holy smokes! Not everyone can do that. I certainly haven't. So I do want to acknowledge that the author worked pretty hard to even get to this point...that being said, dang. I don't like this book.

I spent way too long reading this. It was boring for me honestly and because of that I just didn't read anything for days on end. It felt like a chore. The main character's name is RozLinde. I like her about as much as I like her name. She's really a pain at every juncture, for the sake of being "independent." She wasn't being independent though. She was being a poop. A big whiny poop. And you know what? Sure, it would really be terrible to be blind, but that doesn't mean you should treat those around you poorly.

The entire book could have been ended with a good ole call to the police. Like it really is common sense. But hey. What fun would that be? So there's all this stress and things got really out of hand when they didn't need to and it was just an ew book.

The antagonist is very clear, and I guessed it right away. Honestly, the only reason I kept reading was to see if I was correct, and I was.

Also Gerald just

I didn't love a lot about this book, but I did chuckle that phones had cords. Ah the good ole days.
