There are 119 days before Nelle Herason leaves for uni, and at 18 years old, she should have the world at her feet. On the final day of college, fuelled by endless amounts of vodka and the piercing rush of a freshly broken heart, she makes a (very messily written) list of things she wants to complete before her 17 weeks of summer are done.
She embarks on a stumbling journey to adulthood, experiencing the issues that every young woman faces, and it doesn't take her long to realise the startling beauty and terrifying reality of the world and the people that inhabit it.
A realistic but drama-filled recount of one girl's final summer at home.

Harper's Rules 1 & 2
We're not in love. Our past is a dumpster fire. The best we are is friends with benefits... without the friends' part. Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy. Transferring to UCLA means finally getting out of my dad's house. All I want is to stay under the social radar, make Dad proud by earning my paralegal certification, and get out of Los Angeles. When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart. I think he's taken too many tackles into the turf, but when he proposes a stress management agreement during his season... I can't help but see his point. His seven-and-a-half-inch point. The last time we indulged, we got sloppy. Not the good kind-soul-crushing feelings-sloppy. My brain knows cutting ties was for the best, but the rest of my body still hates me. But I won't be made a fool again. This time, I have rules: No attachment. No cuddles. And no falling in love. Yet, when treacherous feelings resurface, I do the worst thing possible-Break my own rules. This time, whoever falls first isn't getting back up. Story is complete.
