As the year progresses, Elliot learns more about who she is, what she wants, and what it takes to be a good friend and romantic partner. Additionally, her courses are more of a struggle than she expected, and her behavior results in friendship hurdles. This comes to fruition but isn’t as fulfilling as she thought, especially as she dwells on a conversation with Rose Knightley, her gorgeous resident adviser, about what constitutes good sex. Elliot’s primary goal is to sleep with many people of any gender and with no commitments. She immediately becomes close friends with her roommate, Lucy Garabedian, who comes from a large Armenian American family and has far more ambitious college and career plans than she does.
In this story loosely inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma, Elliot is an outgoing, undeclared, new student at Boston’s Emerson College. Well, maybe.Elliot McHugh chronicles a freshman year of college filled with new friends and sexual escapades. And maybe even fall in love in the process. Elliot may make epic mistakes, but if she's honest with herself (and with you, dear reader), she may just find the person she wants to be. Or when her roommate's boyfriend turns out to be the biggest a-hole. When finals creep up and smack her right in the face. When the sex she's having isn't that great. But she may not be ready for the fallout when reality hits. But picking a major is the last thing on Elliot's mind when she's too busy experiencing all that college has to offer-from dancing all night at off-campus parties, to testing her RA Rose's patience, to making new friends, to having the best sex one can have on a twin-sized dorm room bed. Elliot McHugh is not one of those people.
Some students enter their freshman year of college knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives. A hilarious and vulnerable coming-of-age story about the thrilling new experience-and missteps-of a girl's freshman year of college
