New school. New friends. New Brynn. And maybe a new boyfriend?

Brynn Evason had always been on the fence about going to college, but RCU’s Arts for All program won her over with its accessible dorms, personal care assistants (PCAs), and independent studies in which she’ll learn more about the things she loves to do, including songwriting.

She’s looking forward to a fresh start, especially since her relationship with Tommy came to a screeching halt during the summer. Her best friend, Randi, encourages her to keep her eyes open for cute guys on campus, but Brynn doesn’t think she’s ready to date again.

The breakup had been her idea, but that didn’t make it any less painful, and although they text from time to time, and Tommy plans to visit her on campus, Brynn isn’t sure if he’s part of her future, or if she should leave him in the past.

It’s difficult to keep memories of their relationship from popping up, though, especially when every lyric she writes for her songwriting seminar seems to be about Tommy. Luckily, her mentor and songwriting partner, Trevor, is understanding and helps her shape her feelings into songs she’s proud of.

Brynn can’t deny her immediate connection to Trevor, and as the semester progresses, their songwriting partnership inches toward a different type of partnership. The type that Brynn had all but sworn off.

Will the first semester of college bring Brynn the life experiences she’s been after, as well as a bit of romance? Or will Tommy wiggle his way back into her life as a friend . . . or something more?
