Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jocelyn

In this book, four friends are about to go to college, when one of them, Harper, makes a shocking announcement. She's not going to NYU. She says it's so she can follow her dream to be a writer, to write the next Great American Novel, when, in reality, it's because she didn't get accepted to the only school she applied to.

If Harper's committing the "ultimate suburban sin" isn't shocking enough, Sophie and Kate send the worlds of their middle-class families way out of orbit. Sophie is going to be an actress in LA, following her dreams, and completely college-bound Kate is going to Europe! The only one to stick to her original plan is Becca, and that's not going to be easy.

In this amazing book, four friends learn a lot about each other, themselves, and their dreams, having some fun and some humiliation along the way! This book is funny, sad, and, most of all, real. There really are people who skip out on college, and, yeah, their parents definitely do NOT approve. I know my parents wouldn't! But for Sophie, Harper, and Kate, maybe that's what it takes to find their dreams, themselves, and each other. Read this book!!
