Kate has been newly diagnosed with diabetes, and she is struggling to live with all of the new food restrictions, counting carbs, blood sugar checks and insulin injections. She is not as diligent as she should be, which pretty much drives her parents into the deep end.

Aidan is angry about the loss of his arm in the war. He has to learn how to accomplish everything with one arm. The stump on his shoulder and missing hand hurt, physical therapy feels like torture, and he needs to figure out what to do with his life. He is temporarily living with his aunt, uncle and cousins, Jen, and her sisters.

Jen is best friends with Kate, who is smitten with Aidan as soon as she spots him. Dating your best friend's cousin is a murky business that Kate is not sure that she wants to venture into. Aidan is not sure that he can be in a relationship at this point in his life, and he worries that Kate will not accept his disability.

The Summer I Found You by Jolene Perry, 2014

I like the fact that Kate and Aidan's perspectives are alternated in the book.
