After a summer full of fun, trips and friends, May steps into the unfamiliar world of uni, navigating new friendships and the freedom that comes alongside moving out of home. Set in the heart of London in South Kensington, May moves into her new room right by Hyde Park as she joins Imperial College.
You may assume this is a story about a stereo-typical asian. Straight A*s, plays like ten instruments, did Kumon. Okay you get it, basically just a neek. Well, with almost straight A's, a shit ton of Kumon and 10 years of piano up her sleeve, I guess that assumption wouldn't be completely untrue...
ANYWAY, no, this story is about an 18 year old girl, learning to understand herself, what she wants and who she wants. May wasn't looking for anybody and was quite content with her solitude. But after meeting Oliver, she feels confused, from her feelings, from him.
May's Backstory: The past few years of school had been hell for May. She had always found school relatively easy and she knew she had her mum to thank for that, but as she got older and serious exams approached, May found herself struggling. She thanked whatever gods there were for giving her the opportunity to study at Imperial as she had just got in by the skin of her teeth. Now all that she hoped for while living alone in her first year was to get her life together, make a few friends and find her way as an adult.
