"A lot of books have a moral, some lesson about how you have to stay true to who you are. How it doesn't matter if you're different, you don't have to act like everyone else, and the most important thing is to be yourself. But those books never tell you how to figure out what your self is. They assume that you know already, and are pretending to be someone else for awhile to fit in."

Too Bright to See set up expectations and surpassed them. You'll go in just expecting the typical middle-grade, coming-of-age novel and turn the last page with tears in your eyes, overcome with emotion and wondering how a 184 page book on the supernatural world in the eyes of a 12 year old could be so impactful. This book is important, embodying so much acceptance and love all around. In Too Bright to See, Kyle Lukoff has written a wholesome tale of the process of grief and finding your own identity tied together with a handsome bow. What a lovely book.
