商品簡介
Poignant and chilling by turns, The Opposite of Innocent is Sonya Sones' most gripping novel in verse yet―about a girl who falls into an inappropriate and abusive relationship with a man twice her age.
Lily has been crushing on Luke, a friend of her parents', ever since she can remember. He's been away for two endless years. Lily was only twelve when he left, but now, at fourteen, she feels transformed. She can't wait to see how Luke will react when he sees the new her. And when her mother tells her that Luke will be staying with them for a while, in the bedroom right next to hers, her heart nearly stops.
Having Luke back is better than Lily could have ever dreamed. His lingering looks set Lily on fire, and when they're alone, he kisses her. Then he kisses her again. At first, the secrecy and danger thrills Lily. But Luke begins to expect much more than kissing. Lily feels trapped in a situation that she blames herself for. How will she escape?
In this powerful tale of a terrifying leap into young adulthood, readers will accompany Lily on her harrowing journey from hopelessness to hope.
