biblialex 's review for:

The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen

3.0

---

My first foray into New Adult romance made for a quick, light read. What made the book stand out to me was Corey, the female protagonist, who uses a wheelchair and crutches for mobility after a serious hockey injury. The author did not treat Corey as an object of pity or as an inspirational cripple (I loathe that trope), rather as a young woman exploring college life and *gasp* having a sexual and romantic life.
