A relationship with Xavier, a boy she meets on campus, brings the digital and in-person parts of her life into closer conversation.

Book overview

A Kansas NEA Reading Circle Recommended Title and a great read for back-to-school!

Sydney Ciara Warren is excited, but nervous, as she starts her first semester of college. Despite her interests in writing and fashion, she has no idea what path will ultimately be right for her. As she tries to figure out her place on campus and in the world, she finds solace in blogging about her life, putting together outfits with meaning, and spending time online.

It's within the digital space that she connects with someone who goes by YoungPrinceX. She may not know "X" in real life, but that doesn't stop her from developing a crush on him. But then she gets into her first relationship, with a sweet boy on campus named Xavier (who maybe could be X ).

Can Sydney Ciara not only make it through her first semester, but thrive in real life, as much as she seems to be thriving online?
