A Wheelie Awkward Romance: The Love Story of a Girl Who Is Definitely Not Touchy-Feely and a Quadriplegic Guy Who Most Assuredly Is

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 a neurodivergent 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 wheelchair jousting to impromptu knitting therapy, 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.
