Amy and Matthew – Cammie McGovern (Also known as "Say What You Will")
Read March 20 - Library
There are so few novels with disabled
characters at the centre that this was so needed and refreshing. It wasn’t
sugar-coated at all. Amy was also intelligent, something disabled people are
rarely allowed to be. Matthew – one of the students hired to be her peer helper
– is trying to avoid his own problems. OCD. His illness helps him avoid making
friends despite wanting them. Seeing their friendship grow and evolve was
really enjoyable and I liked that they were flawed: Matthew had serious
avoidance issues and Amy could be selfish. Again, like so many books I found
the ending lacking.
4/5 stars
