Presumptuous

Chapter 1
page 2
"I know it is presumptuous to compare my
small life to hers, but I have reason to believe she wouldn't mind..."


I believe that presumptuous is an adjective describing something that is assumed or presumed. Lily is saying that she knows that she's just assuming that her life is like her mother's. She only assumes this because she doesn't really know that much about her mother's life.
