The novel Blind Sight by Meg Howrey is about a 17 year old boy spending the summer with his long-1ost father, an successful actor. The two bond over their many similarities, and the boy, Luke, comes of age that summer. The lavish lifestyle offers contrast to his humble upbringing in Dover, Maine. Luke discovers a lot about his father, but he learns a lot about himself, too.

     Blind Sight weaves a social justice sub-theme through the book, when Luke learns that his dad is a closeted homosexual. The two are careful to keep this a secret, for potential casting purposes. Among this theme, an important storyline is the deadline for Luke's college essay, he searches for ideas, and doesn't find much substance until he writes and essay about how living in a house with no manly figures. There are multiples storylines handled through the story.

       To conclude, Meg Howrey crafted fantastic novel, that felt real, the themes were not forced, they were free flowing and abrupt, like real-life. I would recommend this book.
