The Opposite of Innocent

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?
