How We Roll by Natasha Friend
4.0
Quinn and her family relocate to be closer to a special school for her brother who deals with sever challenges on the autism spectrum. She is completely ready for the move because she was bullied in her last school, partly due to her alopecia and partly because a boy spread sexual rumors around the school about her. Quinn plans to completely change her image at her new school. Her plan starts with wearing beautiful wigs. It is hard to know who to trust at her new school because she was burned in the past.
Quinn meets surly Jake, who recently lost his legs. He is having trouble navigating school with his new identity. He doesn't feel connected to his old football friends, doesn't want to be pitied by his ex-girlfriend, and doesn't want to stick out at all with his new wheelchair and prosthetics. These two have had to deal with very real problems, which many of their friends have no experience with. Perhaps it is through these tough issues that they connect, find friendship, and maybe something more.
