What I really loved about this book is how realistic the character of Ben Warren's was portrayed here. There was an honest to goodness feel to someone who's in his situation. How would you feel if a freak accident took that one thing that makes you really happy? I mean, it may not be "that" extreme happiness but you can't help but think of all the what if's. In this story, there are those realistic "what ifs" and Ben was a prime example of someone who's just going through life - though obviously, he's still holding on a little part of his old self. 
 I do loved Davis here because he's what Ben needed - someone who's confident and does not easily takes shit from others. I also loved that his character is a sensitive one. He's someone who views having a partner as a sacred thing. Although it feels like the reason he's enrolling for the tournament was a bit forced - I thought the story smoothly transitioned into their romance and its development towards the end was truly heartwarming. This is a beautiful summer story that I'd always place on my reread list.
