Fresh

By: Margot Wood

Narrated by: Lori Prince

A hilarious and vulnerable coming-of-age story about the thrilling new experience - and missteps - of a girl's freshman year of college.

Some students enter their freshman year of college knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives. Elliot McHugh is not one of those people. But picking a major is the last thing on Elliot's mind when she's too busy experiencing all that college has to offer - from dancing all night at off-campus parties, to testing her RA Rose's patience, to making new friends, to having the best sex one can have on a twin-sized dorm room bed. But she may not be ready for the fallout when reality hits. When the sex she's having isn't that great. When finals creep up and smack her right in the face. Or when her roommate's boyfriend turns out to be the biggest a-hole. Elliot may make epic mistakes, but if she's honest with herself (and with you, dear listener), she may just find the person she wants to be. And maybe even fall in love in the process.... Well, maybe.

Awesome book

This book was an awesome read/listen from start to finish. LGBTQ+ books like this are so needed in society and I appreciate the representation and the character’s perspectives. Great book!

Coming of age, Romantic Dramedy - An easy favorite

I've both read the book and listened to it and I feel like the reading was better; but it was funny either way. It's my second time listening to the story now and I've literally laughed out loud on more than one reading. I can say it easily makes for one of my favorite reads even if it's a bit heavy on the topic of sex.

Also thought I'd mention it makes for a great book club read!!! It works anytime of year but (in my opinion at least) best if done June-September. The theme for our book club meeting this month is "College Orientation" - with orientation being a double innuendo. Plus, the question asked at most standard orientations will help your book club get to know it's members better.
Like I said, an easy favorite ❤️

Growing Pains

I feel like I have a love hate relationship with the main character Elliot. Some of the things she does is stuiped and selfish, but I have to remind myself that she is still a child and she will make dumb decisions. What I love about Elliot is she learned from those decisions and like that is all we can do as humans is learn and grow and for that this book was excellent. Elliot still gets on my nerves a little but she grows on you,. The supporting characters are the real stars of the book though, her sisters, Rose, Marco and roommate and the Brad's are wonderful. 5 star 🌟 ✨ book.

Very fun listen

This book a better then I thought. Very fun and easy to listen story, and a few laugh out loud moment.

Loved it.

From the fourth-wall breaking to the plot of the story all-around, I loved every single bit of it, and will definitely read again in the future! Would recommend to anyone who likes slow-burn romance!
