Lotte thought she knew what love looked like. She's back in Oxford for her second year, dating the boy she loves, navigating lectures, late-night walks, and the kind of closeness that makes your chest ache with possibility. But love isn't simple. Rory, who is always there for her and pushes her to be her best - also unbelievably hot. Ollie, charming and unpredictable from Bristol, has a way of pulling her heart across miles. Matthias, still in Graz, sends messages that make her remember everything she left behind. Between city lights, train rides, and quiet nights in her dorm, Lotte learns that hearts are messy, love is complicated, and growing up means discovering who you are even when it hurts. This is the year of first heartbreaks, impossible choices, and the kind of love that refuses to fit neatly into one life - or one boy.

Lotte liked to look at her life in years, chapters. Graz had been neat and predictable. Oxford? Not so much. Her mum's last wish had brought her here, and apparently, it included three boys to complicate her life. Ollie, familiar and impossible to resist. Matthias, her best friend from home, who was always there for her. And Rory, the new guy, thrilling, frustrating, and entirely infuriating. Eighteen, alone, and figuring out how to survive lectures, cobblestones, and crushes all at once. Growing up was messy, confusing, and maybe exactly what she needed... #1 in graz - 24.10.2025 #13 in oxforduniversity - 25.10.2025 #19 in austria - 25.10.2025
