Eighteen-year-old Maeve, a future filmmaker who has muscular dystrophy, fears she will never find romance until a project for her Video II class introduces her to new possibilities.

Maeve has her friends, her humor, and a passion for filmmaking to keep her focus off consistent rejection, the hot older guy starring in her senior film project, and her rare form of muscular dystrophy. Tall, bearded, and always swaying, Cole Stone is everything Maeve can't be. And between takes, their chemistry is shockingly electric. Cole's attention challenges everything she once believed about her self-image, and gives Maeve a taste of typical teenage dating life. Now Maeve must choose between what she needs and what she wants-- and her failing lungs might not wait for either. -- adapted from jacket
