the love letters of abelard and lily by laura creedle

John Green writes deep, emotional novels with complex characters and that was exactly what this novel also had. In all elements with this novel it seemed similar to a John Green novel. There was much more depth than I expected and I really liked that because it made the story seem more raw and real.

This was a very interesting, thought provoking, and emotional read. Is it too much if I want a sequel for Lily and Abelard? I want to know what happens next.

It may have ended vaguely and a part of me wants Abelard's point of view, it's still a notable and lovely debut. Praises to Laura Creedle's enticing writing style. It's her choice if she's undergoing a medical procedure or not. It gives her a sense of independence and confidence. Lily had a chance to make her own decisions. It makes the whole book authentic to me and I really like the direction of the story. Through Lily's point of view, you'll get to see what runs in her mind. Like normal people, they have feelings and we should be mindful with our words so as not to hurt them. We should not isolate people suffering mental illness. This is a great book for raising a mental health awareness. Sometimes Lily have outbursts and yet she remained firm and calm with the situation so as not to aggravate her further. Raising a child with a mental illness isn't an easy task. Kudos to her family (especially her mom) for the patience, understanding and taking care of Lily. It's like 'If Abelard can go to college, so am I. With the support and love from her family and her boyfriend Abelard, it inspired her more to reach her dreams. She's a smart and witty girl who loves classic novels. Despite of ADHD, she keeps motivating herself to be better. These two have a lot of precious moments and it definitely made me happy for them. I love it's their way of expressing each other's feelings. After the kiss they shared, they started texting each other and exchanging passages from Héloïse d'Argenteuil's The Letters of Abélard and Héloïse . Both of them are fascinating characters and the romance between them was pure and heartwarming. As for Abelard, he's intelligent but has difficulties on interacting with other people.Ībelard and Lily's story was light-hearted and cute.

For Lily, attending school is a daily struggle especially having short attention span and being impulsive most of the time. It all started one day, she and Abelard broke the classroom wall and got detention. Lily Michaels-Ryan and Abelard Mitchell have known each other since they were kids but it wasn't until they're in high school where they got closer. The Love Letters of Abelard & Lily is such a wonderful debut novel with protagonists that have an ADHD and Asperger Syndrome / Asperger's.
