Autumn and Adonis are very different, but alike in many ways. They both have a disability to live with: Adonis was born without legs and Autumn has extreme difficulty with reading and math. Autumn is in love with Adonis, but Adonis is stoic, a brave face, not needing anyone or anything but himself. The thing is, they both need each other. Autumn is a wrestler and a darn good one and so high school wrestling plays a big and important, interesting role in the book as well. I recall watching a female wrestler at Hampton many years ago and can't imagine the strength it takes to be a wrestler, let alone a female one.
The main characters are so real, it reads like a real diary. The secondary characters are interesting and important. There's a lot going on in this little book.
Fantastic book. Will recommend to all and purchase for our library. Can't wait until it is released so that I can book talk it.
