The only book I can think of in recent memory set in college is Charmed Thirds/Jessica Darling #3, which I dearly love. Young adult fiction is limited to high school settings and most adult fiction ignores this formative and interesting time.

Yes, it appears in high-brow literary fiction on occasion, but that’s not usually my wheelhouse. Yet college remains an elusive setting in fiction. I actually want them to be real people walking around on a college campus somewhere.(Ignore the icky cover-this one’s worth reading.)Ĭollege was probably the time in my life that most influenced the sort of person I am as a “real adult.” (Note: Adulthood is highly overrated.) It’s where my mind was opened about the world beyond the U.S., where I discovered that Women’s Studies was a legit major and where I met my super-cute husband who also knows how to fix stuff around the house. And TW does a similarly fine job with her two characters. Tom just pulled that angst right out of his jackson and put it on film for us to agonize over. Especially Tom Hardy as the tortured Heathcliff. It reminded me of one of my favorite books, Wuthering Heights.

I loved that she created such a believable and tortured soul in Lucas, because I love that. I loved that she created a New Adult world that wasn't whiny. I loved that she had a distinct voice for Lucas and Jacqueline. So, I guess I'll dig into the story and what I loved about Tammara Webber's book. Yes, I've seen this couple on another book, but that's fine. I was in Target, supposedly buying mundane things like toilet paper and Muscle Milk and true to form blowing my budget buying books. Looks gritty." I'd never heard of Tammara Webber (TW) before, so she was a brand new author for me. I flipped the book over and read the synopsis. I bought it because I liked the way the guy was looking at the girl.
