Make me proud.β These were the last words Livieβs father ever spoke to her. In the seven years since her parentsβ tragic death, Livie has done her best to keep this promise through her every choice, word, and action, while looking after her sister with strength and maturity. But with college right around the corner, unexpected challenges will test her resilienceβand her heart.
Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and sheβs dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy to marry someday. What isnβt part of her plan are Jell-O shots; a lovable, party animal roommate she canβt say βnoβ to; and Ashton, the arrogantβand extremely attractiveβcaptain of the menβs rowing team who makes Livieβs usually non-existent temper flare. Worse, heβs best friends and roommates with Connor, who fits Livieβs criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?
As Livie finds herself facing mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldnβt have, sheβs forced to let go of her last promise to her father and, with it, the only identity that she knows.
