The Courage to Compete: Living with Cerebral Palsy and Following My Dreams by Abbey Curran, Elizabeth Kaye
1.0
1.5
Man, I feel like a real grump for raining on the author's "You can do it!" positivity parade, but this was just not good. Curran comes off as a vapid pageant cliche who idolizes princesses and unironically brags about having good typing skills, and the writing is uninteresting and repetitive.
I also thought there was a weird undercurrent in the author's treatment of other folks with disabilities, but maybe that's just me.
