About the book

A YA debut called "rich and thoughtful" by Booklist, The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily follows the budding romance of two unbelievably lovable neurodivergent teens. This funny, heartwarming story about human connection from a truly exciting talent is perfect for fans of Eleanor and Park and Marcelo in the Real World.

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 creates characters that will stay with you long after you finish reading.

    Wunderbares Buch!

    Mich hat das Buch total begeistern können, auch weil ich mich gut in die Personen hineinversetzen konnte. Sehr zu empfehlen.

    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.
