WoW: Fresh by Margot Wood

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

A hilarious and vulnerable coming-of-age story about the thrilling new experiences––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 reader), she may just find the person she wants to be. And maybe even fall in love in the process . . . Well, maybe.

Why I’m Waiting: I’ve been in the blogosphere long enough to remember Margot when she founded Epic Reads and I remember watching the episodes of Tea Time and ARC parties and all the fun things they did. And now she’s written her own book and I feel like a very proud family member or something lol Besides all that, it’s also about a freshmen in college which we don’t see a lot of in YA and it’s a coming of age book. (Contemps of any kind are my fave) I’m pretty sure I’m going to love this one and I can’t wait to see Margot’s funny voice shine out through her main character!

What about you? Will you read this? Were you around when Margot was doing Tea Time? Let me know in the comments!
