About the book

When Lily Michaels-Ryan ditches her ADHD meds and lands in detention with Abelard, she's intrigued-he seems thirty seconds behind, while she feels thirty seconds ahead. It doesn't hurt that he's brilliant and beautiful. When Abelard posts a quote from The Letters of Abelard and Heloise online, their mutual affinity for ancient love letters connects them. The two fall for each other. Hard. But is it enough to bridge their differences in person? This hilarious, heartbreaking story of human connection between two neurodivergent teens is perfect for fans of Eleanor and Park and creates characters that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
What happens when two people who feel out of sync with the world find their perfect rhythm in each other?
- Neurodiverse Romance: Lily’s brain is thirty seconds ahead and Abelard’s is thirty seconds behind. Together, they might just be on time for a love story that redefines what’s “normal.”- Witty Banter: A unique connection that begins with 12th-century love letters and blossoms into modern-day texts filled with humor, charm, and razor-sharp wit.- ADHD and Asperger’s Representation: An authentic, heartfelt look at the challenges and triumphs of being a neurodivergent teen, from dealing with impulse control to finding someone who truly understands.- Inspired by Classic Love Letters: The story of the original Abelard and Heloise provides the spark for a modern teen romance that is smart, tender, and utterly unique.

    Ich habe es sehr gerne gelesen, allerdings sagt mir das Ende nicht ganz zu. Das ist mir noch zu offen und deshalb kann ich leider nicht die volle Sternezahl geben. Ansonsten aber sehr schön zu lesen.
