Review:
A great story of a young girl finding herself. I was surprised at how much I did like this book, as I typically am not a big fan of college romances.
Lily has been in love with her boyfriend, who is her brother's best friend, for forever. They have now been together for just under a year and she feels that he is it for her. She thinks life is perfect.
But as Lily starts her first year of college, everything starts to change. Derek gets busy at his college, she starts discovering herself and doubting her feelings for Derek, and in the process meets Jack, the troubled bad boy.
The book started a little slow but once it got going, I was completely caught up in it. I wasn't surprised that as she was struggling with working out the issues with Derek being at a different college, she turned to Jack. Early on I did feel the depth of her feelings for him was surprising for the limited time they had spent getting to know each other. But as you get to know Jack better, he is so easy to fall for and your heart aches for him the more you get to learn about him. The scenes with him were STEAMY!!! I enjoyed watching Lily grow and begin to fight for what she wants and go after it.
There is much more to their stories and I can't wait to see where Sarah Daltry takes them next!! - Tynna

Excerpt
The cafeteria is crazy when we get there. I think I am one of the only students who waited to move in until the last night. Kristen brings me over to the line and I take a plate of chicken and broccoli pasta. It looks better than most of what I eat at home; I could certainly eat like this every night.
“Don’t get too excited,” Kristen says. “By Thursday, I’m sure we’ll be eating whatever they can make out of these leftovers.”
That’s disappointing, but I figure I should enjoy it while I can and take extra. We go to a table where there are already two girls and three guys sitting. Kristen must know them, although they look at me a little funny. It isn’t rude, but they seem surprised to see me – as if they already know everyone else on campus. It’s probably just paranoia, but I kick myself mentally for not listening to all the emails the school sent suggesting we make use of social networking and the campus message boards to get to know everyone. I feel like I’m the only freshman who hasn’t been actively making friends for three months.
“Guys, this is Lily. My roommate.”
One of the guys, a tall, lanky one, looks me over. “Ah, the elusive roommate. So nice to finally meet you. I’m Don.”
“Nice to meet you, too. Finally,” I echo, although they couldn’t have moved in much earlier than I did. I’m not sure if he’s being a jerk or just kidding around.
“I’m messing with you,” he says. “It’s been like two days. Glad you survived the move in, though.”
“Does anyone not survive it, Don?” Kristen asks. “You’re an idiot.”
Everyone at the table laughs and I don’t know why it feels so weird. I wasn’t popular in high school, but I had friends and was capable of socializing. For some reason, though, I feel like I am completely out of the loop. Don says it’s only been two days, but this group acts as if they’ve been friends since kindergarten. I guess I wasn’t expecting it to be like this – this sort of closeness after living with people for only a few days. I have no idea what to expect from college and I’m starting to feel anxious. What if I don’t belong here?
