When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside-down.
Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile
and no legs.
Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition no one can tell Tessa about his disability. And because she cant see him, she treats him with contempt: screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But for Weston, its the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes back. Again and again and again.
Tessa spurns Westons obnoxious optimism, convinced that he has no idea what shes going through. But Weston knows exactly how she feels and reaches into her darkness to show her that there is more than one way to experience the world. As Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him and Weston cant imagine life without her. But he still hasnt told her the truth, and when Tessas sight returns hell have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessas world
or overcome his fear of being seen.
