Frizzy-haired computer nerd Ellie meets rich, golden-haired Luke in their first semester at Harvard. She hates how attractive he is, and the way he needles her during class. Sixteen years later, they meet again when Luke buys the company Ellie works at. Their attraction to each other hasn't dimmed with the years. Each of them has self-esteem issues: Ellie still feels low-class and unattractive next to Luke, and Luke is bothered that now that he's in a wheelchair he's no longer the golden god he once was. Nevertheless, their attraction and affection for each other grows--until Ellie learns a disturbing truth about Luke (that he's a ruthless businessman who has gutted the previous companies he's acquired).

I really liked the relationship between these characters, which felt real and grounded. The book doesn't shy away from the physical and social ramifications of Luke's injury. Plus, I liked his personality, which combines charm with occasional bursts of being a selfish shit. I could completely understand why Ellie was both lured in and cautious of fully committing to him. The book ends abruptly, with several large plot events happening all at once, but other than that I quite enjoyed this. ( )
