![]() ![]() I got on Goodreads at 2 AM after I finished this book, to rate it, and noticed all the subpar reviews because of the ending of the novel which was so discouraging to me because I thought the ending was kinda perfect. ADHD is mostly talked about in teens and children and this book really puts us to thinking about Lily’s future as an adult. For my fiance, it is the difference between going to work or skipping. For my students, them taking their medicine or not is the difference between an A+ and an F. ![]() Besides having ADHD myself I have seen the effects of ADHD up close and personal in many different settings. My fiance has ADHD and I am a teacher who has to deal with the problems in my students like the problems Lily has. Let me tell you what I love about this novel: She also has impulses, which leads her to kiss Abelard when they are mutually in trouble in the office one day after accidentally breaking a wall. ![]() Lily is your typical teen except she loses stuff, can’t remember things, and her mouth moves as fast as her brain does. ![]() First off, this is an #ownvoices novel about Lily who is ADHD (like the author) and Abelard, her boyfriend who fits somewhere on the Autism/ Asperger’s spectrum. ![]()
