and yes, it directly contradicts it.

I guessed as much but I was really hoping I was going to be pleasantly surprised.Personally, I really think that it's a dick move by Kirkman to give the go ahead to Telltale but to decide later "hmm Lilly,that's given me an idea, I'll write her back story myself".I heard that he said in a interview that it remained to be seen if it's the same Lilly(when he already knew that she wasn't!)
While I dislike it,and my enthusiasm for the book has thus diminished, I can understand why he couldn't and didn't continue game Lilly's story.He would either have to choose a canon choice from the game or just start the book with Lilly on her own and keep her background a mystery.Continuing from the side of a road would be fine for players of the game but other readers would find it very lacking and would want to know more about her past.
I suppose it's now up to the individual to decide which Lilly origin they prefer but it can also mean that Telltale have more freedom to do something else in the future with their Lilly(if they want to).
Damn it!
