THE LOVE LETTERS OF ABELARD AND LILY

Narrator Rebecca Gibel gives unique voices to neurodivergent teens Lily and Abelard, who have known each other since grade school. Having ADHD makes Lily's brain run in fast-forward mode; whereas, Asperger's makes Abelard's run slightly slower than everyone else's. When the duo ends up in detention together, an unlikely relationship blossoms over their shared love of the medieval text THE LOVE LETTERS OF ABELARD AND HELOISE. Gibel's portrayal of Lily sounds as fast and scattered as her thoughts. The authenticity of Lily's voice keeps one engaged. This debut audiobook by #ownvoices author Laura Creedle is worth a listen.
