Dahlia is a girl, she likes boys, boys like her. It is always the same, talk, laugh, kiss, end, repeat. She is tired of this toxic cycle, she is lonely, she wants something more but living in this city and with her friends, she does not know what. Is it her housemate, Jake, who sleeps with almost every girl he meets? Is it her childhood friend, Ezra, who is completely obtuse to her affections? Maybe she doesn't need anyone, maybe she should be focussing on solely herself. She is struggling with becoming an adult, just as we all do, sooner or later.
Arcadian (adj.) idyllically innocent; simple and untroubled by fear or worry.

Due to her late arrival half way through the school year, Harper is forced to stay in the boy's dorm and share a room with six roommates. Keeping a low profile is almost impossible, especially when she catches the eye of all six boys.
