Blake Parker spent years believing love was meant for everyone else, until a chance online connection changed everything...
Twenty-three-year-old Blake is finishing his master's degree and pursuing a career that might finally give him some independence. He's spent his entire life in a power wheelchair, relying on family for caregiving and searching for real connection in a world that rarely sees past his disability.
After a crushing evening confirms to Blake that kindness will never mean more than distant friendship, he escapes into an online video game, the one place where his wheelchair is invisible.
Then he meets Skylar.
She's free-spirited and looking for light in her own life. With Skylar, Blake is no longer the disabled guy kept at a distance. He's understood and wanted in a way he never thought possible. But the closer they become, the more Blake risks placing his happiness in the hands of one person.
The Search for Something Real is a coming-of-age story about belonging, self-worth, and first love told from a refreshingly unique perspective.
