Summary

Girl going nowhere in her life meets boy going nowhere without his wheelchair. Along the way, they find that money cannot buy happiness, the rich are just like you and me, only more unhappy, and the best things in life are free. In a sense, he's the ideal boyfriend. Sure, he's verbally and mentally abusive, lives in the past, and constantly complains that his life is hopeless and useless. But as the author (incorrectly) surmises, the physically disabled can never have a satisfying sex life, and therefore he cannot make demands that way. And then there is the money; a whole lot of it, which turns out can buy some happiness after all.
