The sensational debut YA of 2016 that everyone will be talking about. Parker Grant doesn't need perfect vision to see right through you. That's why she created the Rules: Don't treat her any differently just because she's blind, and never take advantage. There will be no second chances. When Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart, suddenly reappears at school, Parker knows there's only one way to react - shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough to deal with already, like trying out for the track team, handing out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened - both with Scott, and her dad - the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem. Exhilarating and real, 'Not if I See You First' will change the way you see things forever.

In the tradition of Gayle Forman and John Green comes this extraordinary YA debut about a blind teen girl navigating life and love in high school. Parker Grant doesn''''t need 20/20 vision to see right through you. That''''s why she created the Rules: Don''''t treat her any differently just because she''''s blind, and never take advantage. There will be no second chances. Just ask Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart.When Scott suddenly reappears in her life after being gone for years, Parker knows there''''s only one way to react--shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough on her mind already, like trying out for the track team (that''''s right, her eyes don''''t work but her legs still do), doling out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn''''t cried since her dad''''s death three months ago. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened--both with Scott, and her dad--the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem. Maybe, just maybe, some Rules are meant to be broken.Combining a fiercely engaging voice with true heart, debut author Eric Lindstrom''''s Not If I See You First illuminates those blind spots that we all have in life, whether visually impaired or not.

Parker Grant no necesita usar los ojos para ver cómo eres. Por eso creó las reglas: no la trates de distinta manera por ser ciega, y NUNCA te aproveches de ella. No habrá segundas oportunidades. Si no, preguntale a Scott Kilpatrick, el chico que le rompio el corazon. No me tomes el pelo. Nunca. Y mucho menos a costa de mi ceguera. Y muchisimo menos en publico. No me ayudes a menos que te lo pida. De lo contrario, te estaras interponiendo en mi camino o molestandome. No te sorprendas. En serio. Aparte de tener los ojos siempre cerrados, soy igual que tu, solo que mas lista. Cuando Parker vuelve a encontrarse con Scott años despues de separarse, solo puede reaccionar de una manera: ignorandole a rabiar. Ya tiene suficiente con lo suyo: entrar en el equipo de atletismo (sus ojos no funcionan, pero sus piernas si), aconsejar a sus ingenuos compañeros sobre sus desastres amorosos, y apuntarse un tanto por cada dia que pasa sin llorar la muerte de su padre. Pero evitar el pasado es imposible y, cuanto mas descubre sobre lo que ocurrio (con su padre y con Scott), mas empieza a preguntarse si las cosas son como parecen. Quiza hay reglas que podemos saltarnos de vez en cuando, ¿no? Con una historia cautivadora y optimista, y una protagonista arrebatadora, Si no te veo antes ilumina los puntos ciegos que todos tenemos en la vida.
