I was really nervous about how the author was gonna wrap everything up, but I’m proud to announce that the ending was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION AND EVERYTHING I NEEDED.

I absolutely adored this book and will purchase a copy for my classroom library when it is published. The character is experiencing feelings that relate back to the flashback, or you're in the middle of a chapter and it's important to explain in detail what happened for the following scenes to make sense contextually. It's almost become a subgenre of it's own to see disabled people used as an inspirational 'pick me up' for able-bodied people to feel good about themselves. Being upset because you've been made blind after a lifetime of seeing because of someone else's actions is completely understandable.I don’t have much to say about them since they don’t play a big role, but trust me, these are the kind of grandparents one would want.

And some of his flashbacks and his attitude is where the real harm comes in, and I can see it in al the 5 star reviewers who think Weston is inspirational without acknowledging that again, he does not care about consent, and he is actually spreading a very harmful message about disability.What makes this so dangerous is that media, including books influences the way disabled people are perceived. C) To make her empathize more with people who are disabled long-term, which I guess she didn't do before being temporarily blinded? Things might get a bit spoilery, but I don’t recommend reading this book, so I don’t mind leaving those bits in. This book has so many things I don't like to read about, but somehow the whole thing is just a beautiful piece of art. This book uses both primary protagonists for what essentially boils down to what authortuber Alexa Donne refers to as "disabled person inspiration p*rn", and it's true.

An incredibly talented author, her debut novel, 100 Days of Sunlight, is a unique page-turner that takes readers on a journey to learn what it means to be live without limitations. Since Weston got most of the POV chapters, both in present day and in flashbacks, I felt like Weston was actually the protagonist of this book. 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. This makes me sad, because I really wanted Abbie to succeed and do well, and I was really hoping for a magnificent book that would blow me out of the water. Encompassing what it means to be alive and whole, this novel will knock the socks off your feet (some pun intended) and sweep you into a world where giving up is not an option.I have so many other little issues and quotes, but this already is a long, ranty review and I think mentioning any more is unnecessary at this point. If you're in a place right now where you feel like you're running out of options, or that things are never going to get better, or that you don't know how to pick yourself back up - this is the book for you.

I felt like the author kind of pounded the theme over my head with almost every paragraph, which was a little.Thankfully, there wasn't a huge amount of romance, which is what kept this baby from being docked down another star. I watched it, and then I realized that she's the author who wrote that self-pubbed novel with the gorgeous cover that I'd put on my "want to read" list months ago.
