What I Should Have Done ✓

|*| Ambassador-featured |*| 2022 Bootcamp Mentee |*|

Grace Bellamy knows exactly how her junior year at a prestigious New England liberal arts college will go: good grades, an established social niche, and a clear vision for the future, all to stay on track for grad school and a successful career in psychology. None of these plans include the charming, but unavailable soccer player John Jay.

But then her carefully constructed plans threaten to collapse like a house of cards: her academic goals are put in jeopardy, old family wounds break open, and, on top of all, trying not to fall for the athlete who represents all the privilege she despises proves more and more difficult-and leaves her boyfriend less and less understanding of their friendship. When given an opportunity and an ultimatum, Grace is forced to question if her values and beliefs are really her own. Suddenly she stands to lose it all. Can she figure out in time what she truly wants?
