Shedding her former high school image as an "invisible" over-achiever with no love life to speak of, 18-year-old Sam Matthews arrives on her university campus determined to start afresh.
Little did she expect to clash heads with narcissistic genius Mark Burton on the very first day. An unconventionally charming guy who gets under her skin within 30 seconds of knowing her. Just like the boys in the novels she'd devoured as a love-starved teenager.
As their entire class becomes witness to their blossoming friendship and their fiery, witty exchanges, Sam soon realizes she might just be treading along the pages of her OWN romcom, on the flowery path to falling in love with a guy who seemed perfect for her in every way.
After all, it started just like they all do. Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. And they fall in love, just as she knew it.
Or did she?
