bookbeforeuleap 's review for:
How We Got To Today
by Ben Ellis
This is the story of Sheridan, who suffers from a rare condition where he cannot see his own face and has just broken up with his girlfriend.
There were some humorous observations as to what we would miss if we couldn't see our own reflection (Jam on your nose, stray stubble) and I liked the friendship that Sheridan had with the journalist and the sense of community Heidi's story created when she was hosting her prop party.
I really liked that Sheridan had a condition that I had never heard of as it brought something new to the story but I wasn't a massive fan of his half of the book, I think this would have worked better if the chapters from the characters were told alternately rather than the first half as Sheridan and the second half as Heidi because I was really bored with Sheridan's story and would have DNF'd this book if I hadn't read the reviews that said the second half picked up and was from Heidi's point of view.
