This was such a heartwarming story full of hope and overcoming obstacles.
Leilah's been in a wheelchair for years now and has stayed isolated in her house, preferring to hide her disability and do everything online. She's able to teach online, attend a virtual church, and is an avid gamer. When an opportunity comes up for her to meet one of her online gamer friends in person, she's worried about how he'll react to her disability. Will he only see the chair and pity her, or will he look past it and see the amazing person that she is?
I immediately liked Leilah. She was genuine, kind, and a great friend. I loved watching her let her guard down and try new things. She's an inspiration, for sure. Reggie was such a nice guy, so sincere and sweet. They had such great chemistry, and I loved their playful banter. I really enjoyed getting to know them.
