Amy has cerebral Palsy and wants to have a normal senior year. She asks her mom for peer helpers. Matthew has been watching her , and tells her the honestly about life. Matthew also has OCD. Amy starts to make friends with her peer helpers like Sarah, SanJay . Amy uses a speech modular to help others understand her. Amy is pretty smart ,and her focus has always been education.

Amy slowly starts to become closer with Matthew. She helps him with his OCD, and he helps challenge her with class. Amy slowly develops feelings for Matthew, but she has a tough time speaking to him about it. Matthew slowly gets better, and Amy helps him get a job. They are the best of friends. Amy is pretty smart and gets into 6 colleges, whereas Matthew isn't ready for it yet. Amy goes to Prom with Matthew, and its the best and worst night for them.  Many things change for them during the summer. Amy starts college and things aren't what she expected it to be. Matthew is still working at the Movie Theater , but he is making friends. Amy's life changes for her .

This book made me cry, and so many feelings. I loved that there were many diverse people in this book with disabilities. There was person with Aspergers mentioned , and his struggles. Amy grew and changed along with Matthew. I loved that parents were present for both of them. Amy's parent's sheltered her a bit much but you could see that they loved her. Matthew with his OCD , and how his brain worked was  pretty cool. I loved that they are friends before anything else. This book had hope, and friendship. I loved seeing the world in Amy's eyes. Seriously read this book. 

Book Review= B+

  2. This is the first I've heard of Say What You Will - but it sounds pretty fantastic! (Sometimes I just need a book full of feels, and this sounds like it will be the next one I grab!)
