A spunky, contemporary novel about friendship, failure, and what happens when things don't go according to plan, ideal for readers who like their heroines smart and strong-but not perfect.
Nominated for Best Young Adult Novel by the 2017 RT Reviewers' Choice Awards!
Danielle's plans for the future were all figured out... until she failed senior English and her single college acceptance was rescinded. Determined to get her life back on track, Danielle enrolls in her hometown community college with a plan: pass English and get back into Ohio State-and her mother's good graces. Romance isn't on her radar... until she reconnects with her childhood crush and golden boy next door, Luke.
Between family drama, first love and finding her own way, Danielle can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Thankfully she has her friendship with the snarky and frustratingly attractive Porter, her coworker at the campus bookstore, to push her to experience new things and help keep her afloat. One thing's for sure: This time, failure's not an option.
