Kat Taylor plays by the rules. Christopher Jacobs only follows one - always ask yourself: why the hell not? When Kat meets CJ during a critical time in her college career, CJ changes the way she thinks about everything, especially love. 

                          ----------------

Kat is a worrier. With every decision, she sees a list of all the things that could go wrong. So she plays it safe, avoiding risk at all costs. But as she works her way through her junior year of college,  Kat can't help but feel dissatisfied with her life. What if making all the safe decisions her parents would approve of actually wasn't right for her at all? 

CJ can't seem to catch a break. He's in the middle of dealing with a lifetime's worth of bad decisions when he meets Kat. Suddenly, CJ finds himself not just wishing to be better, but trying to be. No matter how hard he tries, he can't help but wonder: What if some mistakes are truly unforgivable? 

When their worlds collide and Kat's heart is on the line, she must face her most life altering decision. Is it better to be safe... or to be wild?
