A new campus, old habits, and the work of becoming

Nathaniel Conti enters his first year of college with a reputation as a troublemaker and a need to keep others’ attention. New classmates and an aspiring photographer who looks beyond appearances open up possibilities for change, while the arrival of a former friend brings back habits and hurts he thought he had left behind. The setup places Nathaniel’s effort to move forward alongside the persistence of his past, connecting the college transition with questions of self-understanding, vulnerability, and belonging.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about the transition to college.
  • Readers drawn to coming-of-age fiction centered on identity, relationships, and confronting past hurts.

Book overview

Nathaniel Conti doesn't feel real when he's alone. Maybe that's why he has a reputation as a
troublemaker--he'll do just about anything to have everyone's eyes on him.

But things are about to change. Nathaniel is in his first year of college, flung into new circumstances with
new people to meet. There are public speaking classmates, lacrosse players--and then there's the
aspiring photographer who asks Nathaniel to be their model, who's interested in more than what's on
the surface. Nathaniel feels like he's moving forward--until a former friend shows up, someone who
reminds him of habits and hurts he thought he'd left behind.

From the author of Icebreaker comes a deeply felt, gorgeously told story about confronting what's
buried, coming into your own, and finding your people.
