"This book was really good. Abelard and Lily both end up in detention by chance. They start talking almost every night. Abelard is named after a medieval French philosopher in the book, "The love letters of Abelard and Heloise" They send quotes to each other and play chess. But life starts getting difficult for both of them and things might not go the way they wanted it to. This book was sweet but also sad but still interesting. I've read so many books this year that just don't feel complete by the end and this is one of them. I wish the author added more after. But overall I still really enjoyed the book."
