He's said "I just think it's a story about a boy watching the stars"
"So Peyton's car says a comet, y'know...this is crazy I love you" link
"So Peyton drives a freaking comet; what the hell?"

But he's never just said to Lindsey [or anyone else who has confronted him about the inspiration/meaning behind his book] this book has NOTHING to do with Peyton...

Someone mentioned this tid bit in a forum on a fansite so I thought i'd pass it on...lemme know what u guys think!

youre absolutly right:) he never said no its not about her he never denied it completly!!

hes a ass what else can i say?

LUCAS DID TELL LINDSAY THAT THE COMET BOOK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PETYON THAT IT WAS JUST ABOUT A COMET SO THIS QUESTION DOSNT EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE

mrssamw...when did luke flat out say that the comet had nothing to do with peyton??Yes luke said it was just about a comet; but he never just said: "Peyton has NOTHING to do with my novel" (so yeah, technically, the book is just about a comet, I mean, it doesn't have peyton's name written in it; but the inspiration behind it has not been denied).

hope that clarifies things for u...
