Not if I see you first by Eric Lindstrom

Parker is very independent and doesn't like to be helped unless she asks for it. Since the car crash that killed her mom and rendered her blind, Parker has made her own rules of conduct to make sure that no one deceives her. The summer after her sophomore year, her father died of an overdose on prescription drugs and her aunt and her family moved in with Parker. But, as Parker continuous her daily routines she begins to learn that almost everyone carries their own secrets that may look bad on pen and paper but are not what they seem to be.

I really liked this book since it creates some insight about how people who are blind want to be treated. This book was able to represent a girl who lost her vision at a young age yet still be capable to do things that are much more complex for her. It also shows how a situation can be viewed as something as hurtful but really is the complete opposite of how it was viewed. This book also touches upon the subject girls bottling up their grief until they burst under the pressure of keeping their emotions suppressed.
