Amy has Cerebral Palsy.
She doesn’t speak or walk very well and one side of her body doesn’t
work very well either. She doesn’t
really have any friends but for her senior year of high school, Amy asks to
have peer helpers instead of adult aides.
Even though these teens will be getting paid, she will have the chance
to interact more with kids her own age.
Matthew is one of the aides. He
and Amy actually start to become friends.
Except, Amy thinks she might want to be more than friends. Will Matthew ever want the same thing? Although this is definitely a romance, it’s
really more about Amy and Matthew navigating the world and learning who they are. This was a really good book that I would give
to teens, especially girls, who like realistic fiction.
