Don't let the cartoon cover and the YA Title scare you off from this book.  This story is a beautiful romance between two adults.  You first meet Ellie and Luke when they are 18 and in their first semester at Harvard.  They have a love/hate relationships, but Ellie never really believes anything could come of it.  Flash forward 16 years later and Ellie and Luke meet again, but things have changed and Luke is now paralyzed and stuck in a wheel chair.  For someone like him, finding a woman who could really love him despite being disabled has been impossible.  But Ellie was his first college crush and she doesn't disappoint him now as an adult because she can see past his disability.  The development of their romance is really very endearing and realistic.  And you can't help but love these two characters.  Of course, this can't be a romance novel without some turmoil, and you do get that.  Additional twists are thrown in, but the way they are resolved is satisfying.I can't even explain how much I adored this novel.  I would recommend in a heartbeat, and it is a seriously quick read.  I read it in just a few hours.  Do yourself a favor and read this because it is a different kind of love story, which is so refreshing from the cliched and templated romance novels that are published every day.
