Last year, in the secretive, lakeside town of St. Clair, Charlotte disappeared for a week before she was rescued by her brother Aiden and her best friend Reese. Now, Charlotte is ready to start a new chapter at a private liberal arts college out on the east coast, just a twenty-minute walk from where Reese is beginning her own freshman year.
The problem is, it’s not as easy for Charlotte to find her place at college as she had hoped. For one, Reese seems to have grown distant and even cold. For another, Charlotte realizes that years of social ease in St. Clair have taught her nothing about making friends in a whole new place. Should she trust the bubbly premed from the first floor who seems strangely keen to befriend her, but whom Charlotte can’t bring herself to entirely open up to? Should she try to get to know the mysterious, retiring boy from the fourth floor who invites her out, even though she’s heard his friends whispering about her?
