How far would you go for a second chance?
Eleven years after flunking out of college, Kate has finally hit rock-bottom. Losing her job and boyfriend in one drunken night, she’s determined to fix her life by going back to the moment when she let partying and sex take over. And do things right this time. At twenty-nine, she heads back to freshman year of college, with a catch.
Pretending she's nineteen with a new roommate and full class schedule is easy. When she meets her shy, sexy and seven-years-younger RA, Carter, following her self-imposed sobriety and celibacy rules is proving to be anything but.
A senior enduring years of regret, Carter is more than ready to graduate. He’s anxious to move on from the party his freshman year where he witnessed his frat brothers about to commit a sexual assault. Instead of doing the right thing and stepping in, he looked the other way and left. His guilt has made for a lonely four years.
When he meets the new freshman on his floor, spunky and confident Kate, he wonders if his time as an outcast has finally come to an end.
Kate and Carter’s growing friendship and undeniable attraction make it harder to hide the demons from their respective pasts. But when their secrets are finally revealed, will their chance at starting over together still be there?
I really loved this book from the beginning to the very end. Have you ever had a moment in your life that you wish you could go back and start all over and change things that happened to you. But sometimes if you think about going back and changing things would you be where you are today. I can admit that I went through a lot of things that I am not really proud of the things that I done. But always tell people what happened in my past made me the person I am today.
Well you will meet the character Kate that wants to go back and do it all over again. She ended up flunking out of college and hitting rock bottom. So she decides to go back to college and she has to pretend to be a nineteen year old girl that is in college. Well she is in her late 20s when she goes back. She ends up meeting her roommate that is different from all roommates. She loves the color black, so that means she must be Gothic. Then she meets this gorgeous guy which is her RA, Carter. She falls in love with him right from the beginning but she keeps telling herself she can't fall in love with him because she is in her late 20s and she doesn't want her past to come out or her real age because she wants to do the life over that she screwed up eleven years ago.
These characters go through so much in this book. But when they are going through all this you are on the ride with them. I would highly recommend this book because I loved it so much. I really hope there is a sequel to this book because I would be in line to read this.
