It was tough to read about the disease, which I think is why I still enjoyed this story so much despite the parts I didn't like. It was a new view of someone with that disease, and I think it was important that it was OwnVoices.

Part of me felt like that, but another part of me felt like it fit the overall feel of the book. To let the girl in the wheelchair be seen as a sexual being and let her get with the hot, popular guy.

I think I really appreciated what Megale was trying to tell us here, that even though the character was wheelchair bound, she still had desires and wanted to be desired. It's not a message I have see in before, and it was really meaningful coming from a OwnVoices author.

I did think Maeve was an interesting character, and she provided a perspective we don't often see, but I felt like she went about things the wrong way. I wish she hadn't thrown herself at Cole, especially with KC RIGHT THERE, but Cole was her something shiny. I am one of those people that didn't like Maeve as a character, but I appreciate that she wants to do everything everyone else does. She should have the same opportunities and experiences. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-40120812114771748862019-05-09T18:55:20.224-04:002019-05-09T18:55:20.224-04:00There's a lot of humor in the book and fun sit...There's a lot of humor in the book and fun situations.

The book was not perfect, and I personally would have made a few different decisions, but the perspective Megale gave to us was so real and honest, and I cannot recall reading a book featuring a teen with a disability that took on this topic.

She wanted to enjoy the same things her peers did - having a physical relationship, going away to college, more freedom, and I like that Megale addressed these issues in the book from the point of view of a teen with a disability. There were things I liked and things I didn't like, but overall, I had a favorable impression of this book.
