FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO SAY PLEASE STOP COMPARING BOOKS AND SAYING THEY'RE THE NEXT TFIOS OR ELEANOR AND PARK. MOSTLY BECAUSE I REALLY LIKED TFIOS AND DIDN'T REALLY LIKE ELEANOR AND PARK ok thank you. This book was not what I was expecting. I, like a few of my other friends who read it, were not...
Since being a special needs mom myself, I thought I give this book try. I wanted to see things from another perspective and this story gave me just that. Plot: This is about a young girl named Amy who has a disability and becomes friends with boy named Matthew. This story tells of their friendship f...
This was a teen romance, but it was about a disabled girl and a boy who suffers from OCD. While no doubt the fact that they were full characters who developed over time helped my love of this novel, it was the realism that really struck me. Amy's family was overly concerned about her being sa...
Title: Say What You Will Author: Cammie McGovern Format: Hardback, 343 pages Time to Read: 1 day :] Goodreads Bio: Born with cerebral palsy, Amy can't walk without a walker, talk without a voice box, or even fully control her facial expressions. Plagued by obsessive-compulsive disorder, Matthew ...
The two books mentioned in the blurb, The Fault In Our Stars and Eleanor & Park, I was certainly a fan of but I cannot say the same for this one.

He’s totally honest with everyone but himself, he’s not even afraid of others feeling when he throws his honesty around, this is what I think about Matthew, after reading this novel. I think Matthew hides from himself; just don’t look at the man behind the curtain for if you do, you might find a per...
This book is captivating and honest from the very start. This book opened my mind to how OCD and having cerebral palsy truly feels like. It's tough but seeing how the characters try hard to go beyond their sickness is inspiring. It's both excruciating and fun to watch Amy and Matthew not admit to ea...
Right from the beginning I liked the characters.( Amy who has Cerebral Palsy & Mathew with OCD.) They work so well together. As the story is building you can see how their relationship is too. You got a glimpse of how it was for Amy before she met Mathew, or I should say before Mathew became a helpe...
Matthew didn't really plan on becoming one of Amy's peer helpers. It makes him feel a little bit awkward. Because Amy wrote an essay about her disabilities, and about how lucky she is that she is liberated from conventional expectations of her as a teenage girl living in America. While everyone appl...
