Say What You Will by Cammie Mcgovern

"A unique and unforgettable love." --Teen Vogue

John Green's The Fault in Our Stars meets Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park in this beautifully written, incredibly honest, and emotionally poignant novel.

Cammie McGovern's insightful young adult debut is a heartfelt and heartbreaking story about how we can all feel lost until we find someone who loves us because of our faults, not in spite of them.

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 is consumed with repeated thoughts, neurotic rituals, and crippling fear.

Both in desperate need of someone to help them reach out to the world, Amy and Matthew are more alike than either ever realized.

When Amy decides to hire student aides to help her in her senior year at Coral Hills High School, these two teens are thrust into each other's lives. As they begin to spend time with each other, what started as a blossoming friendship eventually grows into something neither expected.

What happens when the person hired to help you becomes the one person you can't live without?

• Disability Representation: An unforgettable story featuring a fiercely intelligent heroine with cerebral palsy who refuses to be defined by her body.
• Mental Health Representation: A compassionate and honest look at a hero's struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder and crippling anxiety.
• An Unlikely Friendship: Brought together as aide and student, Amy and Matthew form a connection so deep it surprises them both.
• Dual Perspective Romance: Told from both Amy and Matthew's points of view, this emotional story captures two teens finding love where they least expect it.
