Vale and her boyfriend Crawford get into an accident on the night of graduation.  Crawford is in a coma and Vale is lost without him.  All of their post high school plans included each other, including college.  As Crawford’s coma stretches into months, Vale’s parents convince her to go to college, where Vale meets her brother’s frat brother, Slate.  Vale quickly realizes that there’s a whole other side of herself that she has suppressed in order to be what Crawford needed, and now she is ready to figure out what she wants. 

This is a new adult read with characters that are in college and are very sexually active.   The story was interesting and I liked the characters but I would never be able to recommend this to anyone because of the content.  Obviously there is a lot of swearing, but the worst part is the amount of sexual content including, but not limited to, on page sex, oral sex, casual sexual relationships and many sexual references.
