I immediately fell in love with Hartley. He's just a sweet guy, a little clueless, but sweet. He looks beyond Corey being in a wheelchair and just has fun with her. He helps when he cans but really just tries to be there.
Corey has the hots for Hartley. She loves hanging out with him but hates the girlfriend. She loves playing a hockey video game with him even though she can't play any longer herself. Her growth in this book is what is amazing. Corey will come out of her shell. She will become stronger. She will face a lot of fears. She does most of this trying to occupy herself from not thinking about the guy she can't have.
Their friendship grows, they learn a lot about each other. When they decide they need to grow together, I was so happy for them.
My whole life changed in the blink of an eye.
I was supposed to start college on the Harkness women's hockey team. But I'm showing up in a wheelchair instead.
Everything about my new life is difficult, and there's only one person who understands. Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley. His leg is broken in two places.
We bond over broken elevators, hockey games, and disappointments. We're just friends, though, until one night things fall apart. Or fall together. All I know is that I'm falling. Hard.
But can Hartley love someone as broken as me? His deep brown eyes hold their own demons. While my troubles are visible for everyone to see, his are hidden deep inside...
