About This Book

A freshman girl's first year at college is chronicled through episodic scenes that trace the search for friendship, awkward social missteps, and small domestic dramas. She learns to navigate roommate tensions, recitation lists, holiday customs, and questions of economy while forming bonds with classmates who range from warmhearted to exacting. Incidents involving valentines, practical jokes, reforms, and classroom challenges reveal humor, rivalry, and loyalty, and the narrative emphasizes growth in manners, responsibility, and self-understanding as friendships deepen and everyday college life brings both trials and consolations.
