This novel followed two POVs: Phoebe, and Luke. What sticks out the most in my mind about this book, was that there was a whole lot of character, but not a whole lot of plot. I received this novel at Yallwest this year, and was really excited to have read it before my own big move into university this fall! As the women on campus determine to expose the team and shut down the account, Luke and Phoebe find themselves grappling with confusing feelings and wondering how they’ll ever make it through freshman year. Rumors swirl about the Wall of Shame, a secret text chain run by Luke’s soccer team, filled with compromising photos of girls. Just when things start looking up (and Phoebe and Luke start hooking up), drama looms on the horizon. In fact, being on a soccer team is the only thing that stays the same. Luke didn’t set out to redefine himself, but as soon as he arrives on campus, he finds himself dumping his long-term long-distance girlfriend. Convenient: the only person from her high school also going to York is her longtime crush, Luke. And she’ll be totally different: cooler, prettier, smarter. On her own, discovering new things, no curfew. Book Review: Freshmen ARC by Tom Ellen and Lucy Ivison
