CREEPY! This book was high on the creepy factor, especially thinking about my college years and how many times I put my trust in someone that I hadn't known for a long time. Julia is a freshman who has come to school with some emotional baggage that she is still dealing with; she must try to concentrate and put herself first. Marcus is another student who falls quickly for Julia, but is beat out by a man (Sam) who works at the local snack bar who is definitely a fan of coeds.

There were a few moments were I physically cringed and had to put the down for a minute to collect myself - not for the faint of heart. I was glad to hear the stories from all angles - Julia, Marcus and Sam each have moments where they narrate the story and the reader is given each of their perspectives. The one that creeped me out the most was Sam - he was nuts. I enjoyed when Julia was narrating, maybe it is because I am a female that went to a small school, but I liked reading from her point of view the most.
