The book was divided into five parts: Smell, Hearing, Taste, Touch, and Sight. Tessa, through losing her vision, learned to rely on and appreciate other senses- smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Emmons was right- we tend to take our senses for granted and only use our sight. Teenagers, you know? The premise of this book involves Tessa, a poetry blogger prior to her accident, not wanting any help to publish her poems and continue blogging (since she obviously can’t by herself) and Weston, our stupidly sweet and optimistic MC continuing to help her until he starts teaching her about her other senses.Ī main theme in this book that was creative and well-written was the whole idea about using your other senses. Weston has prosthetic legs after (stupidly, I might add) trying and failing a horribly dangerous stunt.

Tessa, the female main character, got hit by a drunk driver and temporarily lost her sight completely for around a hundred days. What really struck me and made this book unique and not your stereotypical YA romance (though maybe it actually is) was the fact that Tessa and Weston, the two sixteen-year-old main characters who (you guessed it) slowly fall in love is that they’re both disabled, at least temporarily. I really enjoyed this book- it had well-written main characters and a sweet slow-burn romance. If you like sweet contemporary romance and strong family themes then you’ll love this touching story of hope, healing, and getting back up when life knocks you down. But he still hasn’t told her the truth, and when Tessa’s sight returns he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessa’s world…or overcome his fear of being seen.ġ00 Days of Sunlight is a poignant and heartfelt novel by author Abbie Emmons. As Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him - and Weston can’t imagine life without her. 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. Tessa spurns Weston’s “obnoxious optimism”, convinced that he has no idea what she’s going through. But for Weston, it’s the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. And because she can’t see him, she treats him with contempt: screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But he has one condition - no one can tell Tessa about his disability. Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. 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.

Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about.

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. So… what is this book, you may be wondering? Here’s the Goodreads blurb.
