Cady Barrett's idea of happiness is a little bit shallow. On a good night, it's found in the loud music and familiar droll of a busy bar. On a bad night, it's in a bottle of white wine and sleeping pills.

For this sorority girl, happiness is a stereotype she plays up well. But in the darkest night, when everyone goes to sleep and she's lying alone in her bed, happiness doesn't seem to exist.

Until she finds Frat Row Prince Charming himself, Hollis Buckley, in a place she least expects him to be.

★ NOW PUBLISHED! ★ What do you get when you add the ultimate meet cute + a bruised head? = A whole can of heartbreak. It all starts in aisle three. Lacie O'Connor prefers to see the world in black and white, logical, rational, and natural, like her biology major. She just wants to survive her freshman year of college, but first she must find a can of peas. Instead, she gets hit on the head with a box of cake mix. Trent Montgomery is all saturated and technicolor even in the maroon employee polo. Lacie thought she left him and his sheepish smiling friend at the grocery store but finds him in her most dreaded class: Intro to Philosophy. He sits next to her, and it's all PLATOnic until he presses his foot up against hers. That's all it takes for her to get lost in the philosophy of Trent. What starts out as sidewalk conversations soon leads to study sessions that transform to cuddle sessions that transform to make-out sessions. But just before winter break, Trent steps back. He dodges her texts. He kisses her in private but blows her off in public. Lacie knows miscommunication and mixed signals spread like an invasive plant species, but what she can't figure out is which version of Trent is real. The one she met in aisle three, or the one who likes to get drunk in dorm building basements. © 2015 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting © 2019 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting |Edited/NEW| © 2022 Published version All Rights Reserved |Third Place Winner in #Readytoreadya2018 Young Adult Reads Contest|

- Nessa - I'm used to Phoenix being my brother Finn's cocky best friend-the guy who always ruins my fun whenever I find someone interesting. But when I was drugged at a party, he was the one who found me and made sure I was safe. After that, something changed between us. Suddenly, we're spending more time together, and he's not as much of an arrogant jerk as I thought. The lines between annoyance and attraction are blurring, and it's confusing. Maybe he's not just Finn's best friend anymore. - Phoenix - I've had feelings for Nessa since the moment we met, but I buried them deep because of Finn. After I found her that night, unconscious, everything I'd pushed aside came rushing back. I tried to play it cool, but being around her now makes it harder to keep my distance. She's not just Finn's sister-she's Nessa, and my resolve is slipping. I'm not sure how long I can keep pretending I don't care.
