(3) YA Narrator Lily breaks things, fails her classes, and refuses her ADHD medication. Abelard fixes things, aspires to attend an early college program, and struggles with ASD. Creedle sensitively portrays both teenagers' frustrations, intelligence, and empathy as they navigate a fragile romance amid the realities of their respective neurological conditions; Lily's depiction, especially as she contemplates undergoing a complex medical intervention, stands out.
