I read this book in about 7 hours! I could not put it down. I HAD to know what happened next. Each chapter flowed right into the next one that I rarely noticed it was a new chapter. It was worth staying up until 4 am to finish it. Thankfully I am on winter break and didn’t need to worry about waking up early for work.

Amy has cerebral palsy and has always had adult aids help her throughout her day of school. Matthew is very quiet but tells Amy some hard truths she never thought of and decides her senior year she will have student aides to help her each day, including Matthew. Matthew can’t believe he agreed to do this each week and he has OCD which he thinks he is hiding from others. As they both navigate outside their comfort zones they are able to be themselves, especially Matthew who is usually quiet and shy and in the background unnoticed.

A must-have for middle and high school libraries.

Thank you A Mighty Girl for this booklist where I found the title. https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20201218&ts=20201218&p=30987

They both have so much to say to each other but don’t for too long. Say what needs to be said, life is too short. (No worries, no one dies). I felt like we all are always so worried to share our true feelings and that we don’t so we end up “wasting time” that could have been spent differently.
