The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen
5.0
Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars
This was a fun read and I’ve already been recommending it to others.
Corey begins college not as expected, even more unexpected was the friendship developed with neighbor Hartley. Crutches and a wheelchair, the two strike up more than a friendly relationship on common ground of video game hockey.
I’ve been searching for a book with a main character with a disability, and I’m so happy I fell upon this because I *love* Corey so much! I adored how each of the characters were written. Even Hartley’s friends, the glimpses we see of them I feel like I know them (and I’m happy to know that there is more to read about them!). As someone who has spent time in a wheelchair I appreciate the honesty of Corey’s inner monologue and her honesty with Hartley about the struggles that come with it. I thoroughly enjoyed the dual POV; getting to see Hartley think about his relationship with Stasia when he realizes his feelings for Corey are deep just made my heart so happy.
I thought this was a quick, fun, sweet read with standout characters. I got lost in the world of Harkness College.
