Aaaaall the applause for this book! 
 Maggie, blind for six months from meningitis, has somewhat adapted herself to her situation (although, not by much). Sarcastic and too independent by half, she sort of goes her own way, does her own things. On probation due to an illegal school prank that she commits, she meets ten-year old Ben Milton after a meeting with his uncle - who turns out to be her probation officer. After a 'graceful' swandive to the floor, she looks up and discovers to her shock that she can see. Not much, of course, but enough to to make herself question her sanity and whether or not she was really seeing the world around her again. There's a connection to Ben and her sudden ability to see again, but she can't figure out what it is nor why it's happening. Meanwhile, she's dealing with an uncomfortable, sudden attraction to Ben's older brother - who turns out to be the lead singer of one of her favorite bands. Unfortunately, he believes that Maggie is only sticking around and being friends with his brother to get close to him, and therefore treats her pretty shitty each time he sees her. Eventually, Maggie realizes why she can see around Ben and around certain people and the realization isn't a pretty one to have. 
 I had a very hard time putting this book down. From the second I read the first line to the very ending of the book, I was completely hooked. I loathed having to go to work since it meant that I'd have to put the book down even for a short while. I really enjoyed Maggie. She was fierce, independent, and strong despite the things that she'd gone through, the friends that she'd lost, and the fact that her parents tiptoe around her and treat her like she's made out of glass. Her mother is there, but not really there, if you know what I mean and even though her father means well, he wears his anxiety like a billowing cape for all the world to see. I absolutely adored Ben. He was hilarious, charming, funny, and completely adorable. He was a cocky little shit and he cussed far too much but damn if it didn't suit him perfectly. Their friendship was unexpected, sweet - at times sad, but I loved it. 
 Mason was, well. Mason was interesting. He was a complicated sort of character. Sort of stoic, rough around the edges, but you can tell that despite this tough guy persona, he was a nice dude. I understood why he thought that Maggie was only around for him and the fact that he was the lead singer in a band that was quickly getting popular, and even though I wish he'd tried to at least give her the benefit of the doubt, I liked that he wasn't the typical kind of dude that fell in love with her at first sight or anything like that. He had his own issues, doubts, things like that. 
 Everything about this book was amazing and I loved that I'd gotten a chance to read it.
