Amy and Matthew - Cammie McGovern

Won the book from Definitely Books. Not too bad a read about two high school kids, both with difficult issues to deal with (doesn't everyone?) - one with cerebral palsy, the other with OCD. Which i think is a nice mix of physical and psychological disabilities.
Matthew was hired as a peer helper for Amy and their friendship blossomed. Matthew helped with Amy's physical and social needs (she had no friends), and Amy pushed Matthew to talk about his OCD, which he kept a secret, and eventually helped him seek treatment. And of course, everything platonic turned to love but not without a series of misunderstandings first.
The plot was okay, quite predictable. But the dialogue was nice. Probably deserves a 3/5 rating.
