In this mix of serious topics and humour, Becky Bexley is in her second year of university, where she does voluntary work for a new blind student called Barbara who needs people to read her study material to her. They strike up a friendship, often have a laugh together, and Becky meets her brother and some of her disabled friends. They all tell her about their experiences of living with disabilities, a few of them amusing.
Becky and Barbara also make a new friend, with whom they discuss such topics as how eyewitness evidence can sometimes be unreliable without the eyewitnesses realising, and tricks lawyers can use to try to discredit witnesses in court.
Becky gets too argumentative one evening, stirring up a controversy that threatens to ruin Barbara's meet-up with old school friends. On the bright side, it's an opportunity for her to learn one or two worthwhile life lessons, although whether she does learn them is open to question.
This book, like the others in the Becky Bexley series, can be read as a standalone as well as a part of the series.
