Beautiful, outspoken, funny and wild, Katie Kampenfelt is as reckless as she is intelligent. Taking a year off before college, she intends to do more than smoke weed with her boyfriend, Rory, and work at the bookshop. She plans to discover her passion and seduce Dan, the 32-year-old professor she watches movies with. She confesses the details of her life online, changing her name to avoid recognition, responding to readers replies with bristley insults. But when Dan ignores her and her father falls ill, her bravado cracks and dark pieces of her past emerge.
