The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily by Laura Creedle

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.

Laura Creedle made her debut as a novelist with The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily, and she blogs at www.lauracreedle.com about her experiences as an ADHD writer. She currently resides in Austin, Texas.
