The First Move

<p><b>Juliet</b> believes girls like her - girls with arthritis - don''t get their own love stories. She exists at the edges of her friends'' social lives, skipping parties to play online chess under a pseudonym with strangers around the world. There, she isn''t just ''the girl with crutches''.<br><br><b>Ronan</b> is the new kid: good looking, smart, a bad boy plagued by guilt over what happened to his brother Ciaran. Chesslife is his escape.<br><br>Juliet thinks Ronan thinks someone like Ronan could never be interested in someone like her - and she wouldn''t want him to be anyway - he always acts like he''s cooler than everyone else.<br><br>Little do they know they''ve already discovered each other online, and have more in common than they think . . .</p>
