Love Letters of Abelard and Lily

By Laura Creedle | Publisher: HarperCollins

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.


  • Opposites Attract: She’s thirty seconds ahead, he’s thirty seconds behind. When Lily and Abelard land in detention, their differences might be the one thing they have in common.
  • Neurodivergent Romance: A heartfelt and authentic story about connection and seeing the world differently, starring a girl with ADHD and a boy with Asperger’s.
  • Love Letters: Their bond begins online over a shared passion for the historic, romantic letters of a medieval philosopher and his brilliant student, Heloise.
  • High School Setting: From detention to navigating the social minefield of high school, their relationship has to survive in the real world, not just in messages.
