This was such a perfect chick lit read! The main characters Rainy Dey and her room mate Olivia were adorable. When she first arrives at the University Olivia and her brother Lucas introduce themselves and all three fall in sync. Lucas was a doll, a nerdy engineering major doll! They really grow and learn about life together. Olivia struggles with who she is and who she wants, as well as Rainy, in different ways.
So, when they are organizing boxes to go to their room, Rainy sees Evan (gggrrr growls and sneers and maybe foaming at the mouth!) and his BFF Aaron Donovan. (ok at first growls and sneering to him too) The first day of school and Lucas showing the girls around as a Junior he knows the school and the “ranking” systems.
Rainy Dey was open about her Dad and the “go have fun” attitude he had. She cared for her Mom and she is still dealing with her death. Poor thing is emotional and alone in a new world. That alone makes you love her. When she tells everyone how she was named, I felt a little tear! The relationship with Olivia grows as does Marley, Olivia’s friend from debate camp. All the characters were so well written. The idea that there is a “non frat” house called the Clubhouse and the scores they get for doing what with whom is so worthy of an added point on the angst scale. I do admit the levels of angst were pretty high at some points. There are some pretty deep messages about friendship, maturing, life and love. Overall a ride to college that is well worth taking. This is a relatively clean book too. Ok yes there was steam but it was mild to mid level steam. I need some ideas for my cast. Evan is supposed to look like The Rock. Ill take that even if I have to growl at him.
