While the constant 2011 references were heavy-handed at times, I enjoyed the nostalgia. When she looks him up and ambushes him for coffee, things take an exciting turn. Even after all this time, however, Shane cannot shake Pilot from her memory. As the semester ends, Shane returns home to continue her pre-med track with her tail between her legs.Īfter a time jump, we meet back up with Shane who has since graduated from med school and is in the interview process. To make matters worse, Pilot abruptly breaks things off with Shane. Just as everything is looking up, Shane’s parents come to visit and ultimately find out that she’s been lying about how she’s been spending her tuition money, something her father cannot abide. After meeting Pilot and starting her secret writing internship at a travel magazine, we follow Shane’s growth and transformation. Shane starts the novel as relatively timid, shy, and nearly incapable of speaking to attractive boys. Through their budding romance, we learn how both characters react to setbacks and to challenges. Īfter landing in London, Shane is immediately interested in Pilot, the boy across the hall. Shane leads us on an adventure, not dissimilar from the adventures of characters in her beloved Lost and Harry Potter. We quickly learn that Shane, a pre-med major, is using this semester abroad to study writing instead, something her parents don’t know. Our main character Shane is preparing to study abroad in London and is looking forward to making new friends and taking chances. Even just a few pages in, I knew that I was going to love this novel.
