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.
