Mlynowski, author of Fishbowl (2002) and As Seen on TV [BKL S 15 03], returns with another delightful tale about an unlikely group of friends. Kimmy, Jamie, Layla, and Russ meet in business school at the University of Connecticut. Kimmy hooks up with Jamie before classes even start and regrets the move almost instantly, especially when he begins writing her love poems in the co-ed bathroom. It's handsome Russ who catches Kimmy's eye, but Russ has a girlfriend back at home in Canada. Not that this means he's able to keep away from flirtatious Kimmy. Layla is more focused on school than the other three combined, and she's already picked out her future boyfriend from the crop of next year's applicants. The shifts in the group's loyalties and friendships--Kimmy and Layla form an unlikely but deep friendship, while Jamie begins to realize that his affections for Kimmy are being replaced by much deeper feelings for another--keep Mlynowski's fourth novel fresh and riveting.
