A CLASSIC BOY IN A WHEELCHAIR MEETS GIRL LOVE STORY

WHEN NEW BOY HARRIS meets a cute girl in his class Nory, he is determined to prove he is more than just the kid in the powered wheelchair, he has a secret weapon. His new nurse.

Beautiful and confident, Miranda sees Harris for who he really is funny, smart and totally worthy of Nory’s affections. It seems everything is working out for Harris for once. But Miranda has her own demons, and Harris starts to wonder if she has his best interest at heart.

MY REVIEW

I really liked the fact that this story springs into action from the very first page. We get the idea from the first page what Harris is going through, in his life, and about his thoughts and life in a wheelchair. If there’s one book I have to say is a must buy, must read, The First Thing About You, is it!

MY FAVOURITE LINES FROM THE BOOK PAGE 9

NEW JERSEY PIZZA

THE DAY BEFORE I MOVED to New Jersey, I told my only friend that I was okay with never seeing him again. Friend is a pretty generous word to describe us, but I wanted to feel like I was leaving something behind.

I’d always had a knack for burning bridges. This, I believed was a trait I inherited from my mom, who knows how to get on with life.

But lots of people come and go with little regard for the people they’re leaving. My nurses almost never look back. And I can’t let that bother me, because (a) most of them don’t think two thoughts about me in the first place and (b) I need to keep the revolving door turning to avoid a lapse in my care.

That’s not to say my parents aren’t capable of taking care of me, I wouldn’t have been alive and starting my sophomore year of high school without them. But they can’t do it every second of every day, so we hire nurses who are reliable enough to attend school with me and make sure I don’t die on their watch.
