Corin and Skylar are people from very different worlds who meet via their roommates in college. 
 Corin is a hardened gal who's been used and abused by those she's loved and took off for LA to get the education she always dreamed of. She meets Layla at school, and feels rather protective of this innocent young freshman. She's especially not happy with Layla's ex, Landen, who seems to be emotionally unstable. 
 Skylar's pretty sure his roommate and soccer teammate, Landen, is certifiable. The way he's completely gone over Layla is shocking, to say the least. Now, her redheaded, snarky roommate Corin? That girl is a total dynamo. For Skylar, a wealthy son who couldn't buy his parents' attention, Corin's a challenge he'd love to meet. 
 As Layla and Landen's romance goes boom, bust, and boom again, Corin and Skylar join forces to keep everyone stable--as best they can--and develop a strong friendship. Which Skylar wants to turn into more, and Corin's afraid will totally destroy what little self-esteem she's cobbled together. 
 The book spans several years, and I think that was a bit too ambitious, because I would have liked to be more 'in the moment' with these two. Rather, it felt kinda rushed and didn't really experience much in the romance aspect. There was clearly enough story to build into two books. There's a lot of filthy talk, and that seemed a little out-of-place for 19 year old kids, to be honest. My biggest gripe was with the editing, however, and I can only hope that the many errors I encountered in the book were corrected in the edition that went to print. I received an ARC on release day, though, so I'm nervous that I got the finalized book, and that would be a shame if it's true. 
 The true romance really picks up about 60% into the book, but it's still more drama than romance. Teeny bit of sexytimes, for the length of the book. I did like the story, and I'm glad I got to see these characters again.
