Lily and Abelard end up in detention together the following day, where Lily picks up a portrait of Abelard drawn by her classmate, Richard. Lily has always been fond of Abelard, and in another impulsive decision she kisses him, leaving him dazed and confused. Unfortunately, the handle breaks, and her antics land her in the vice principal's office with Abelard Mitchell, another neurodivergent student at the school who deals with Asperberger's. One afternoon in class, a handle on a sliding door in her classroom begins to wiggle and screech, and Lily feels the need to yank on the handle to stop the noise. Her neurological differences cause her to be quite impulsive, resulting in many forgotten assignments and skipped class. Lily Michaels-Ryan, the narrator and main character in the novel, is a teenage girl who grows up in Austin, Texas with ADHD and dyslexia. The following version of the book was used to create the guide: Creedle, Laura.
