About the Book
Seventeen-year-old Grace O'Connell does not fit in. Haunted by her insecurities and social awkwardness, she's certain her first year at
Hutchinson State will be as torturous as high school. Armed with her
faithful companion, a stuffed tiger named Mr. Snufflebutt, and the
disdainful certainty that college "fun" is beneath her, she soon
realizes that life might have more to offer her than mere math proofs
and unpalatable dining hall food. Of course, that has everything to do
with Carson West, the unreachable senior with a long-distance
girlfriend, and an old paperback her mother disapproves of. With more
than a little hesitation, Grace opens herself to the possibilities of
love, lust, and a more nuanced understanding of right and wrong in this
classic coming-of-age tale.
