In ‘Blind’ we meet married couple Twyla and Dylan Ridley. There wish has come true when they’re baby boy Charlie is born. But what they couldn’t have known is that Charlie is blind. Although they’re happy with Charlie being healthy, him being blind is very hard on the young parents. The house will have to be made safe for a young blind boy and his life will be different than other children his age.
Twyla is determined to find a way to help her son. But when she finally finds something that gives her hope Charlie will be able to see someday, everything changes.

Let me start this review by saying I didn’t really know what genre this book was. When I read the book description I expected this book to be a thriller, but I didn’t really know for sure. Throughout reading ‘Blind’ I kept wondering which way the story would go. Which made me want to keep on reading until I got some answers. And honestly, now I’ve read the book I still don’t really know which genre fits this book. The book was interesting, but somehow I just didn’t really get it.

The characters Twyla and Dylan seemed to be a good married couple. But just like with most stories, they had many secrets for one another. In the end I just didn’t really get their relationship.
Especially in the beginning of ‘Blind’ I also didn’t really get Twyla. She seemed to be sad a lot of the time because Charlie was blind. Which is off course not something you’d want for your child, but is it really so bad as she thought it was? I kept wondering what I would have done, and I just think she overreacted a little. But maybe that is the nurse in me talking.

Overall I did enjoy this read, but it left me with a lot of questions. I just didn’t really get the characters, and I also didn’t really like them. In the end I really feel like I missed something.
