The Opposite of Innocent
Description
My name is Lily. This book is about me. And about Luke—a friend of my parents’.
I’ve been in love with Luke ever since I was a little girl. I used to tell him I was gonna marry him when I grew up. And he’d smile down at me and say, “I’ll wait for you, Lily. I promise.”
This book is about what happens when I realize Luke has kept that promise.
My friends think anyone his age who wants to be with a fourteen-year-old must be really messed up. Maybe even dangerous.
But Luke would never do anything to hurt me . . .
Would he?
