A raw and resonant debut novel (Megan McCafferty) and a vivid portrait of life on a modern college campus.
College senior Natalie Bloom is beautiful and ambitious, but also painfully insecure. At twenty, she s still a virgin, never even having had a boyfriend. At school, Natalie hides out most weekends in the library until she meets Patrick, her fantasy (she thinks) of a cultured, intellectual Prince Charming. But the more time they spend together, the more Patrick brings out her worst insecurities. And before Natalie s ready, she winds up losing her virginity and her sense of direction, as her emotional responses take a dangerously self-destructive turn. Soon it ll take only the most extreme measures to reclaim her sense of self, her confidence, and her ambition.
Insightful, moving, and achingly self-aware, "College Girl" is an intensely real portrait of a character whose insecurities are recognizable to us all, and of a time of life that changes everything.
