Bass Ackwards and Belly Up by Sarah Fain, Elizabeth Craft
4.0
i grabbed this for a quick skim so i could decide whether or not to buy the sequel for the collection. the beginning hooked me so i took it home and lurrrrrrved it. there's definitely traveling pants overtones: four best friends are going their separate ways for college- there's an athlete (becca), a novelist (harper), an actress (sophie) and one who is just lost (kate).
but the week before college begins harper shocks her friends by announcing that she's not going to NYU after all- she's moving into her parents' basement to write the next great american novel. sophia admires this and decides to defer UC Boulder in favor of los angeles and the limelight. kate, most suprisingly, turns down harvard...and doesn't even know why. she ends up buying a plane ticket to paris. becca still heads to middlebury for the ski team, but her friends insist that she too take part in a challenge- by falling in love.
what follows is the best of chick-lit as the girls find jobs in food service, meet boys, and make mistakes- so many mistakes, on their way to discovering what on earth they're doing. highly recommended. and i'm definitely buying the sequel.
