Looking for a (probably out of print) YA book

About 15 years ago (late '90s), I glanced at a YAish book about a paralyzed teenage boy - late high school, maybe college. I think he was the MC, but a girl may have been. the guy and girl were friends but not necessary BF/GF. I can't remember the plot.

It wasn't a Lurlene McDaniel-style book. It seemed more gritty.

Does anyone know the book I'm thinking of? It's been bugging me because I've been doing research on characters with disabilities. I've Googled endlessly and have come up with nothing.

ETA: The guy in the story is either a paraplegic or very high functioning quadriplegic. It talks some about his rehab, but he's at home for most of the story as best I can remember.

I've seen The Dive from Clausen's Pier during my search. It's not the one. I've read excerpts from Head Case, and I liked it. It's on my to read list.

Thanks for the ideas, Kitty!

Thanks, Southern_girl! I haven't read that one.

Thanks for the link, Cornflake! I haven't found it yet, but scrolling through pages of queries started to make my eyes cross. I'll keep checking back there.
