A Wheelie Awkward Romance

The Love Story of a Girl Who Is Definitely Not Touchy-Feely and a Quadriplegic Guy Who Most Assuredly Is

Beschreibung

Witty, wise, and wonderfully real--a love story that challenges expectations and celebrates possibility. Tess wasn't searching for love--and she definitely wasn't looking for a man with a power chair and a penchant for dad jokes. But when Corby's clever and correctly punctuated dating profile caught her attention, one message turned into two, then twenty, and suddenly, her carefully predictable world was tilted on its axis. This story is more than a tale of love. It's a wildly witty, refreshingly honest look at what happens when an intensely logical woman and a quadriplegic man collide online and discover something neither of them expected: a perfect match. It's a candid, unfiltered glimpse into the beautiful mess of relationships--where doubts meet hope, where disabilities meet abilities, and where humor, patience, and persistence turn awkward encounters into extraordinary memories. Tess's sharp sense of humor and unflinching honesty paired with Corby's trademark "wheelnote" footnotes make for a story as endearing as it is unpredictable. From evening wheelchair rides to scarf knitting galore, Tess and Corby's story redefines what it means to find "the one" and reminds us all that love isn't about perfection--it's about showing up, being seen, and rolling with whatever comes next.

Autor

Tess and Corby wrote this book, but writing isn't usually their thing. They are two ordinary people living their lives--Corby having spent the last twenty years in a wheelchair and Tess having dealt with less outwardly obvious struggles. Corby is a software developer and amateur public speaker on topics such as resilience and gratitude; he even does occasional sit-down comedy gigs! Tess juggles creative projects and side jobs and mostly tries to keep their lives from descending into chaos. They have spent years statistically proving that they are evenly matched at strategic board games. They also play video games, construct Lego sets, and host elaborate murder mystery parties. This list probably makes them sound like nerdy teenagers, but they are, in fact, adults--proven by the fact that someone let them have a Costco membership. They own a house in Utah that is haunted by a sprinkler-system poltergeist.
