Perfection.^ This is all that really needs said about this story, but if you want more, read on.As a user of a wheelchair, I've never yet read a story that makes being in a wheelchair seem normal and acceptable, as well as somewhat sexy.

3.75 stars. Can I have more books like this one, please? A little bit heartbreaking but at the same time full of hope!

3.5I think I would have loved this story if it had just been a bit longer, but as it was I didn't know what Josh saw in Chris, who they were, anything about them really, except that Chris had a wicked sense of humor despite losing his legs.It was a nice short read, but I really wanted more!
