John Green'sThe Fault in Our Starsmeets Rainbow Rowell'sEleanor & Parkin 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.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
I
want
someone
who
will
talk
to
me
honestly
about
things.
You're
the
only
person
who
ever
has.
Maybe
you
don't
know
this,
but
when
you're
disabled
almost
no
one
tells
you
the
truth.
They
feel
too
awkward
because
the
truth
seems
too
sad,
I
guess.
You
were
very
brave
to
walk
up
to
the
crippled
girl
and
say,
essentially,
wipe
that
sunny
expression
off
your
face
and
look
at
reality.
That's
what
I
want
you
to
do
next
year.
Tell
me
the
truth.
That's
all.
Recenzii
“In
Cammie
McGovern’s
debut
novel
Say
What
You
Will,
Amy
and
Matthew
will
break
your
heart
and
then
with
their
resiliency
and
wit
and
ardor
put
it
back
together.
This
is
a
book
to
read,
savor,
and
pass
on
and
on
until
it
has
gone
around
the
world
twice.”
“A unique an unforgettable love.”
“Exhilarating and heartrending. With a smart, proud, and capable protagonist eager to take her life by the reins, this novel is stunning.”
“McGovern avoids gooeyness or condescension by making Amy and Matthew individuals, not diagnoses, and their relationship not just plausible, but suspenseful. Watching Amy and Matthew grapple with big questions, readers will be surprised, moved, amused, worried, hopeful, and grateful to have spent time with them.”
“McGovern’s triumph is how well she normalizes and highlights the variety of disability experiences among teens and their often circuitous journeys toward claiming their voices and right to self-determination. Ultimately, a deeply engaging and rewarding story.”
“What this book does best is move beyond the typical concerns and stigmas people with disabilities inevitably encounter to present an honest portrayal of the difficulties of growing up faced by these particular characters.”
“Cammie McGovern channels her knowledge and passion for special needs kids in Say What You Will. Like the deservedly best-selling Wonder by R.J. Palacio—required reading for every family—this doesn’t just get you talking, it gets you thinking, feeling and rejoicing”
“A beautifully written story about two teens who find each other in spite of what might seem like insurmountable problems.”
“It’s a little bit ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower,’ a little bit ‘Eleanor & Park’ and a lot of something else entirely. A young adult book with grown-up lessons.”
“Cammie McGovern crafts a story that takes a realistic look at people who have disabilities but who are not their disability. This story isn’t about rescuing anyone. It is about setting aside fears, limitations, and appearances, and taking a chance at opening up. Everyone should meet Amy and Matt.”
