Harris moves from California to New Jersey because of his dad's job (which also provides his brother with better lacrosse opportunities). He thinks he can reinvent himself as more than "the wheelchair kid" and lucks out into getting a young nurse, Miranda. Miranda has her own baggage, however, and while she expands Harris's horizons and sees him as more than his wheelchair, she offers some dangers too. 

Harris thinks he can learn a lot about people by color theory, which is expressed in the book. I could kind of see where he was going with that--it wasn't a lot different than horoscopes honestly. It made me think a lot about my own internal biases about people in wheelchairs and the life they live. I appreciated seeing Harris through their lenses. It also made me wonder what happens to people who don't have fierce advocates like Harris with his mom.
