Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Helen Winters was born completely blind, however, she has always been independent. She didn’t like using her cane because she felt like it broadcasted her disability to the world. She also didn’t have a dog or any sort of help to make her life easier. The beginning of the book shows Helen lost in a staircase in her college. A man decides to be nice and help her find her class. Unfortunately she figures out way to late that he does not have good intentions. Obviously being blind she doesn’t have any details about him except for his voice. She doesn’t tell her family what has happened to her, but she drops out of college after that. Jump forward three years and Helen is living alone in a secluded house in the words, far away from any family. She has changed her name and doesn’t tell anyone her new address. She has become a writer and still lives completely independent. One day two doctors, Liam and Owen, show up at her door and offer her the opportunity of a lifetime. They believe that a study on gene therapy drug treatment could possibly make her able to see for the first time. She is reluctant at first but she gets a call from her sister (who we will discuss in a moment), and makes a bargain with the doctors. If they take her to home, which is like two sates away, to see her sister’s wedding, then she will participate in the study. It pretty much goes downhill from here. I have many problems with this book. One, what woman, blind or not, decides to take a more than one day road trip with two men that she has now for just a few minutes. Talk about stupidity. Then Owen decides that he is going to talk IN DETAIL about various porns for 3 hours straight! WHO DOES THAT TO A PERSON THEY JUST MET?!?! Then she starts in on it too! I really think my jaw was laying on the floor by this time. Granted, Liam was apologizing for him but still. Then we have Helens sister. Man that girl was a bitch. She guilt trips her sister into coming to her wedding then says that if she doesn’t have a date she is going to force her to go with someone. So Liam and Helen decide that they are going to go to the wedding together and pretend to be dating. Helen’s sister forces her to call him just to prove he’s real then starts talking about how big his dick is or something. I would walk out and that room and away from that girl forever. As soon as the call from the sister happened I knew what the ending was going to be. Saying that though, the ending still pissed me off. It literally just ended at the climax of the story. That was the part I was actually continuing to read it for. I almost DNF’d this book at one point because I just found it too ridiculous in places. I’m not sure if they second book is going to start off right where the first one ended but I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t. I have absolutely no plans on reading it. I was reading some 5 star reviews of this book and serious wondering if I had read the same copy as these people…. I have now changed my rating from a two to a one star.
