Summary
Rumi never wanted college. She wanted to write stories, not live out the dreams of her late mother — a singer whose shadow she can’t seem to escape. Haunted by guilt over the car accident that took her mother’s life, and by the cutting implication from Celine that the accident was her fault, Rumi carries a depression so heavy she hides it beneath careful silence. She doesn’t believe she belongs in a dorm, at a university, or in anyone’s life at all.
Zoey is the opposite: vibrant, excitable, and endlessly talkative, using quirks — like her obsession with turtle videos and obscure animal facts — to mask the ache of growing up between divorced parents. Beneath her bubbly surface is a girl desperate for stability, for something or someone who won’t leave.
Mira, their third roommate, has burned her bridges completely, cutting herself off from her family for reasons she doesn’t easily share. She wears her independence like armor, but loneliness lingers beneath the sharp edges she shows the world.
Together, the three stumble into one another’s lives within the walls of their shared dorm and a love sparks that may save them in more ways than one.
