Jonas is just killing time before he can finally leave home for college. He is coming to terms with the fact that he has lost his lower leg in a car accident with his brother and wants to start a new life away from being the one legged boy being pressured to try walking and driving again by his family. One day his mother forces him to drive and he has another car accident because he is getting used to his prosthetic leg. The girl whose car he hits is called Bren and after exchanging numbers for insurance purposes ( its only a minor bingle) Jonas bumps into her again at the local deli. Bren is the opposite of Jonas in that she is dreading leaving the security of home - the only place where she feels she can control her ever increasing anxiety levels.

This is a nice friendship/romance story about two broken people who find each other and help each other to put back the pieces of their broken lives. It is told in alternating chapters between Bren and Jonas as they recount their new life at college and how their paths cross again and again.
