Girl with Glasses: My Optic History by Marissa Walsh

2.0

I got this as an Audible Valentine's Day freebie. I decided to read it after wanting something short and funny after an involuntary return to being a girl with glasses (GWG). I scratched my cornea at the beginning of this week, and my doctor told me no contacts for a week and limited screen time for a couple of days. Wah!! It turns out that while one can read one-eyed, it's pretty tiring. Anyway, I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much out of this, and I was still disappointed. Half of the book could be more generally applied to all GWGs, but the other half is a very shallow memoir for Ms. Walsh. I would be hard-pressed to come up with that purpose this book served. Why did the author write it? If it was all about GWGs then why the personal content? If it was meant to be a memoir, where's the meat?
