The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily by Laura Creedle happens to be my FAVORITE FICTION read for the month of October 2024! I was surprised that this novel became my favorite fiction read for October 2024. I purchased this audiobook on a whim because it was on sale through Chirp Audiobooks and the storyline sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed with this novel!

I'm a sucker for a well written young adult novel. I am drawn to young adult novels that focus on good storytelling. highlight real world problems that young adults deal/struggle with during this of their young lives, and/or provides an important message for young people to hold onto.

The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily focuses on two neurodivergent teenagers, Abelard and Lily. They are both dealing with not only what it means to be a teenager, but also dealing with being neurodivergent... Lily is struggling with ADHD and Abelard is on the Autism spectrum. 

The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily explores what it means to be a neurodivergent teenager and what it's like trying to fit into society and finding one's way in the world. Plus, there is the addition of trying to navigate a budding romance.

I enjoyed the writing very much. I liked the characters and the plot twists. I felt this was a solid novel and that Laura Creedle did a great job with the subject matter.

Below is the publisher's summary for The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily by Laura Creedle from Goodreads's website:

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?

I am giving The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily by Laura Creedle a rating of 5 stars out of 5 stars.

Until my next post, happy reading!!
