Literally Leander discussion

Our book for May 2019 is Eric Lindstrom's 2015 debut novel, Not If I See You First.

The book has been translated into several languages and follows the story of Parker, a blind high school student who refuses to let anyone take advantage of her for any reason, including the boy who once broke her heart.

What do you think of this month's book? Are you excited to give it a try?

I am excited to read this book. I love reading diverse books, which includes books in which the main or secondary character has a disability. Last year, I read several books that have Deaf protagonists, but have not read many books that have a blind protagonist.

I'm actually really excited for this book. Like Christine said, it's both enlightening and fun to read diverse books. Books featuring disabilities are becoming more and more popular, but they tend to angle more towards protagonists that are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. I've only ever read one other book featuring a narrator that had vision problems, Love Blind, of which I was not a fan.

I'm also a major sucker for cute contemporary romances, so we'll see how this turns out. I'm expecting it to be wonderful, though!
