Clementine captured my heart right from the beginning. There is such vulnerability in her that she works so hard to hide as she navigates college on her own in a fiercely independent manner. As we learn her story it's more impressive that she is a twin and her parents are rich yet she is struggling to pay her tuition. On top of all of this she has suffered betrayal from almost everyone she has trusted in her past which sets up how she navigates her relationships – essentially she doesn't date. Enter Gavin Murphy, swoon-worthy RA that is entranced by Clementine and she doesn't give him the time of day. The relationship between Gavin and Clementine is masterfully written. This never felt forced as we get to watch their journey of getting to know one another. Something I didn't expect was a mystery woven into the story and how I would love all the supporting characters. This really was a wonderful journey of finding who you want to be, learning not to be afraid to show who this is to the world and learning how to trust. Well done Lex Martin!
