Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I thought there was a difference between being twentysomething and being twenty-four or twenty-five. I wanted to join the Peace Corps because I liked to travel and be around attractive people. The helping others aspect of it was not at the forefront of my mind. #2 I decide not to apply for the Peace Corps, because I’m too old by the time I return. I take a new job at an agency called Lend-A-Hand, which matches people looking for someone to do a job for them with those who are desperate enough to do it. #3 The Lend-A-Hand office is small and cluttered, and there is one woman who works there. She sits behind a desk with a stack of index cards on them. Each card has an available job on it. They range from cleaning apartments to catering waiter for a private party. #4 When I try to decline the next cleaning assignment offered to me and hold out instead for one of the plummier catering gigs, the woman on the phone tells me that if I don’t take this job, I’ll never rise to the ranks of Upper East Side cater waiter. I accept the offer to clean the apartment of a disabled, gay octogenarian.

Instead of the usual boy meets boy, the person you really fall in love, the one you're rooting for until the end, is the protagonist himself. As a gay man with cerebral palsy, Elliot has always searched for the o...
