Sight #1
First Sight
Despite misgivings, newlyweds Noah and Archer set out for a dream honeymoon in Amsterdam with a shoestring budget and negligible travel experience between them. All goes well until they leave home.
Noah, who once hoped to become a comic book or graphic novel illustrator, is completely blind due to a degenerative eye disease and has rarely left the Seattle area since his diagnosis. While Archer has never previously traveled for longer than a weekend with Noah along.
Reaching the Netherlands, they face a chaotic world better suited to a particularly alert cat than a young blind man and his novice guide. If the physical fear and stresses of public transportation and city streets are not bad enough, Noah and Archer find even their marriage threatened by the daily battle they wage without and within their own relationship.
Includes a bonus story! Go back to the beginning with the prequel and see how Noah and Archer first met and how their relationship evolved.

Well, that was different. I'm not actually quite sure how to categorise it to be honest. It's not quite a romance, it's not quite a coming of age, it's not quite a gay lit, it's not quite an exploration of life.
It takes elements from each, although the steam is low key, mostly off page or fade to black, which disappointed me.
With a blind character there is so much potential for exploring the other senses and, while there is some of that, none of it really focuses on how Noah and Asher are together outside of the most basic of interactions.
Both men are also supposed to be 24 and sometimes they read, Noah in particular, as much younger to me. They do have unique voices though, and I very much believed in them as friends.
I have to say I didn't really get the romantic relationship between them though, as Noah often didn't listen to what Asher was telling him about his feelings.
And not to have any on page romantic interactions outside of holding hands and kissing, made it harder for me to connect to them as a pair.
There's also an odd 'secondary' story weaved into this as Noah writes his comic book, and honestly, I just don't see the need for it at all. Either I'm really stupid or it just had no connection in allegorical terms to what was happening in 'real life' on page with the pair.
I had no idea what I was going to get when I started reading this and now I've finished it, I'm still not really any wiser!
I will say though, that the author did brilliantly in bringing to life the amazing city of Amsterdam. The elements of the two men wandering around the city, exploring the sites and cultural heritage really worked.
As did the part where Noah was on his own and he was in a potentially dangerous situation. The terror of his experience because of his blindness came across perfectly judged and there was a great reminder of the power of the kindness of strangers, which is something we should perhaps take on board more.
So all in all, this was an easy read, with some elements which worked better than others.

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.5 stars
I always feel at a bit of a loss when a character has a disability that I myself have never encountered in a personal way. It’s difficult for me to critique whether the writer has given an authentic spin to her character’s challenges. While I can’t truly comment on authenticity due to having little to no contact with anyone who lives a life with blindness, I can and will draw a few conclusions based on limited insight and what I think denotes common sense as it relates to this character’s behavior and that of his husband. First Sight by Jordan Taylor is a different kind of story—not quite a romance, not quite a coming of age or coming out novel. In the end I think this novel will have vastly different interpretations by each person who reads it.

This was something different. I am not sure in which category this book falls. Love story, young adult, gay romance? It has a bit of everything. Even the writing is different from what I am used to. Short sentences, a bit staccato-like, almost factual, are alternated with flowing, fluent, almost poetical phrases. All leading up to a long bittersweet, emotional monologue by Archer that said it all. But there is also a kind of odd second story. I didn’t quite grab that, and it interrupted the flow of the main story, which was a pity.
That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the story. I really did. It only makes writing this review somewhat harder.
Let’s begin with the characters. I loved that this story was about established characters (also something different), but at the same time, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. We get a short introductory story in which we learn that Noah and Archer know each other from high school, and that despite their rocky start, they become best friends to lovers and ultimately husbands. Noah has turned blind in his teens, but Archer keeps standing by his side. The main story picks up when they are honeymooning in Amsterdam. Neither in the short story nor in the main one, I really get the feeling of love between the two men. They sure have an intense, emotional connection, but more as very good friends than lovers.
The best thing about this story I found the humor. Their banter is hilarious. Their quick jabs at each other, the self-deprecating jokes, I loved it.
Being Dutch, I loved that the book was set in Amsterdam. It was all so recognizable. It was fun to see that city and the people through a stranger’s eye. Yes, it is a madhouse sometimes. It was also eye-opening to see how difficult it is for blind people (for other disabled people as well, for that matter) to manoeuvre around the cobbled stones and crowded streets. At some point, it actually became very dangerous, and the terror Noah felt had my heart pounding in my throat.
All in all, a somewhat different but very enjoyable story.

**I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review**
**And this is an ARC so the feedback I give could change by the time the book is finalized and published**
Thank you Netgalley and NineStar Press, LLC for letting me review this book!!
Before Thoughts:
This book falls under one of my guilty pleasure genres. LGBTQIA.
Mainly the BL branch of it. I love me some good BL with that romance that makes me fill up with happiness and joy to see the characters experience such happiness and love for each other.
And in this one I look forward to seeing the hurdles that these characters will overcome with each other.
This one has to do with a guy who wanted to be a graphic novel/Comic book artist but became blind. And how he overcomes the loss of his sight with the help of his boyfriend.
Review:
Read on: 05/20/18
To be Published on: 05/21/18
Plot:
This story is about Noah and Archer who are newlyweds. And it's about Noah succumbs to blindness and faces many hurdles to overcome it. Archer is trying his best to be there for Noah and really hopes that Noah succeeds with his comic. He gives feedback to help Noah have fun with it as well as to make the comic mean something for Noah and others.
The setting is mostly in Amsterdam and it can focus on them trying to find their way around while visiting this city.
Character(s):
Noah:He was an artistic guy with a love for comics, computer games, etc. He even wanted to become a comic book artist, illustrator, or Game designer when he grew up. But because of Retinitis pigmentosa an eye disease that causes you to go blind if not treated immediately, he must now overcome a new hurdle to achieve his dream as a comic book artist, as well as overcome other hurdles for his relationship with Archer. Also he has a tendancy to say the wrong word than what he means in a sentence. (But Archer corrects him about it)
Archer:He took a while to open up to Noah, but once he did they at least came to more understanding with each other. He's into traveling, history, computer games, etc. He wants to help Noah succeed as much as he can, even if Noah wants to be stubborn with him.
Final Thoughts:
It was kind of slow paced.
I didn't like seeing Noah get so whiny. Like I get that becoming blind can really suck especially when it interferes with whatever dream you wanted to achieve. But his whining was just so constant. And his whining made it harder for me to really sympathize with him.
And I wish Archer was less distant as a character. The distant feel of him made him feel less and less like he actually had any chemistry or reason to be with Noah. So if you make a second book please put a bit of focus on Archer because I feel like his character needs a bit of attention.
And the story lacks any major focus on their relationship or a major focus on the plot about Noah wanting to write a comic and adjust it to his blindness. It just teeters between them with hardly enough development to help back them up more.
So what I'm saying is that this story has some interesting idea of what it wants to do when portraying a character overcoming a hurdle like blindness, but it is executed rather poorly.
But the author is good with describing the layout of Amsterdam so points for that.
I really wanted to like this since the idea was a good/interesting idea to look at. I wish I could've enjoyed it more.
Recommends to:
I don't know who I'd recommend it to. But I guess read it if you have time to kill. And read it if you're into the LGBTQIA genre. But if you added it to your list of TBR as far as its story goes I might put it at a more low to medium priority.
Hope you enjoyed my review!! Thanks for reading!! ^_^
And go catch that good book!! ^_^

Archer and Noah have been friends, of a sort, since high school. Noah wants to be friends with him, despite the fact that Archer is hostile. “Confidence, like art, was a family trait.” Noah doesn’t give up and in fact pushes Archer towards friendship and then towards more. Noah is diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a disease that eats the eyes. A severe case, incurable, leading to permanent and complete blindness. It is not until two years later, at eighteen, that Noah loses his sight completely. Archer is there for him, angry that Noah considered suicide. Archer is there for him, describing what he sees, allowing Noah to touch and map his face (though he hates to be touched) and making sure Noah can be independent.
The book is told in first person by Noah and begins with Archer proposing and Noah giving a vehement NO and running away. Right then I thought, either something is wrong with Archer or I’m not going to like Noah. It was the latter. Noah is blind, yes. He has lost his ability to do the comic book graphic design he had wanted to, yes. But he also is the one to breach Archer’s defenses, when he didn’t want a relationship, and then when he did he burns him with a NO.
He often acts as if Archer doesn’t know his own mind and that hurts Archer. There are quite a few times here that Noah hurts Archer and really, I wanted to shake him. “Then don’t marry me, but come home anyway. This is not one-sided. You dragged me into this relationship. Now here I am. I need you no less now than when I was fifteen and sick with grief and you were the only person in the world who asked if I wanted to hang out. I want to hang out with you, Noah. Forever. Come home.” And Noah says. No.
They do end up getting married but there are issues. The biggest is that Noah is absolutely convinced that Archer doesn’t understand what it is like to be married to a blind man, “…shackled to an albatross.” They end up going on a honeymoon to Amsterdam, another thing that Noah decided he knew best. Archer thought they should start with a small trip but Noah pushed this. And it turns out to be a disaster. Archer is not, in any way, a social person and this trip is so difficult.
The book goes back and forth between their story and the comic book story that Noah is writing about a gay, blind superhero. This wasn’t the best for me. I would have preferred more focus on their relationship than the comic, though as a novel that comic finished would probably be a good one. Here it was distracting.
You can see Noah and Archer’s friendship but the continuous arguing and Noah always believing he knows better, never really listening to Archer even when it concerned Archer’s own feelings, got on my nerves after a while. Noah ends up in a dangerous situation, all alone, and that part seemed extremely real. I can’t even imagine how terrifying it would be, blind, alone, no phone, no idea where you are. Archer had possibly the same fear, since he didn’t know what was happening. It shows the rift between them widening:
“It wasn’t a stunt, Archer. You think I meant to come back alone?”
“I think you meant to put me in my place and prove you didn’t need me.”
I liked the interaction between the two when they weren’t arguing, they tease and talk. Archer describes the world for Noah and right there you can see the care he has. It takes most of the book before Noah starts to get a clue and start to listen to Archer. So, I liked this but didn’t love it.
Cover art by Natasha Snow, showing scenes from Amsterdam, the tulips and the city, as well as Noah in dark glasses and blurred circles. I felt this was a good representation of the story.

This is a tough kind of book for me to review.
I liked it, but I didn't like all of it. I liked the main story, but I found the story of the comic to be somewhat confusing at times.
In general, I really liked both Noah and Archer.
When Noah starts to loss his sight, but doesn't tell anyone, it just shows how selfless he is. To think that he didn't tell anyone because he didn't want to burden them was just heartbreaking.
I loved how Noah and Archer became friends. Noah was just drawn to that quiet boy at school who always stood off by himself. He fell in love with Archer and then needed to befriend him. As for Archer, he didn't rush anything. They kissed. That was all.
And then Noah starting losing his vision. And all Noah wanted to do was stare at a picture of Archer that he'd drawn. He never wanted to forget what Archer looked like. And as his vision loss got worse, he relied on Archer. Archer was the one he confided in about his problems. And when he was considering suicide, Archer told his that he was a selfish, conceited ass. I loved Archer's feelings about this. Archer told him that he was a coward. He told him that there are many people who are blind and are perfectly happy. Then he told him to "Grow some, Noah." This was just wonderful. I loved how Archer just told it as it is, and never coddled Noah. He supported him and helped him, but didn't baby him. Not at all.
After this, they are fully invested in each other. Archer loves Noah. And Noah loves Archer. But Noah is unable to see that anyone would love him. He can't understand how Archer could want to be "shackled" to him instead of being free to find a worthy man to love.
This will become an on-going theme in their relationship over the years. Noah just ruins things for them time after time.
Overall, it was a good book. I was shocked by some of the situations that Noah got himself into. And the on-going arguments started to wear on even me. But the whole journey was well worth the ride.
As I said before, I did not enjoy the comic book parts of the story. I understand what the author's intentions were for including them, but they pretty much bored me and confused me. I preferred their conversations about the comic book.
All that said, I did enjoy the book and am glad I read it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good MM blind character.

This was such a pleasant book to read. I had such a good time with it. I loved so much Noah and Archer, they were really nice characters. It was wonderful getting to know them and being able to share their love.
It was really slow paced but it didn’t make it any less enjoyable. The plot wasn’t something out of the ordinary. It was something that any couple could experience at some point, and yet, it was so especial and different.
I loved that it was really an establish couple. I Love the way they thought, their insecurities, not only Noah who we get to see his point of view but also the times Archer express his doubts, fears and expectations. It was so nice to see a more realistic relationship. There wasn’t only love and sweetness, there were also some conflict and communication issues and it make things so much believable and the way disability was seen it was also very interesting. I loved particularly the way Archer see things. His humorous side was great.
Overall it was a wonderful book. It wasn’t extremely romantic but there was so easy to see there was so much love.

Hindsight
In this short story, we see how Noah and Archer get together. Kind of a prequel, if you will, about how they get to where they are in First Sight. It also explained Noah's loss of sight, so it was mostly for background information.
First Sight
In First Sight, Noah and Archer are married and heading to Amsterdam on their honeymoon. There was way too much whining for my sake. Noah kept inferring that he hated being pitied, but he really seemed to pity himself more than anything. I honestly couldn't see what Archer was staying for with the way Noah treated him most of the time. I think Noah truly meant well, but he never really listened to Archer regarding anything until the end when Archer finally pushed to be heard. I am hopeful for their future, but Noah really needs to get his head out of his hindquarters and keep it out of there.

I liked this I just found a few bits confusing, unneeded and the story somewhat lacking in character chemistry, but overall I'm glad I read it.
