Natalie is a senior at UCONN. She has grown up in a family with five older brothers. No one in the family has gone to college or sees the need. This book portrays state university life in the 1990's, complete with classes, frats, parties, and dorm life from Natalie's perspective. Natalie has a lot of growing up to do as she figures out who she is and where she wants to be. This is a coming of age story that may appeal to older teens getting ready for college, even though it is marketed for adults.
