Summary: In this coming-of-age novel, Melanie Collier is learning how to survive the college experience with few friends and a loner tendency. She never imagined herself going to such a large university because it seemed just too impossible - too many people and too far from home. Melanie's freshman year is full of social anxieties, the discovery of Creative Writing courses, and the chance meeting with a charming yet secretive Australian tennis player, Lleyton Harris. The culmination of which have drawn Melanie out of her shell and helped her open up to her new life at Indiana University. Melanie becomes mildly addicted to the blossoming relationship with Lleyton, and she hopes that their banter and love of music can survive the summer. My Review: I made this mistake of starting this book in the middle of finals week, and I read the entire book in one sitting. The beginning was a little hard to follow but once you get through the first couple of chapters it becomes amazing! The writing drew me into the intricate plot and the complex characters. I loved meeting the various characters and learning their stories. Sarah Towne does an amazing job of getting into the mind of a archetypal teenage girl. She makes her characters extremely relatable and extremely charismatic. Sarah Towne has done an amazing job on her first book and I hope everyone reads it!
