When Elizabeth receives her freshman-year roommate assignment at the beginning of summer, she shoots off an email to coordinate the basics: TV, microwave, mini-fridge. She can't wait to escape her New Jersey beach town, and her mom, and start life over in California. The first note to Lauren in San Francisco comes as a surprise; she had requested a single. But if Lauren's learned anything from being the oldest of six, it's that you can't always get what you want, especially when what you want is privacy. Soon the girls are emailing back and forth, sharing secrets even though they've never met. With family relationships and childhood friendships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can rely on are the complicated new boys in their lives ... and each other.

This book took me an extremely long time to get through for such a short book (although it could be because I read it on my Kindle app on my phone). This was an okay book. I had to force myself to finish it though. I received this e-book from Edelweiss for review. I felt that it was entirely too predictable and it contained a lot of high school level drama that was at times frustrating to have to read, in my opinion. I also found a few grammatical errors while I was reading it. Overall, it was an okay book but I will not be purchasing it for my book collection. This story follows two girls, Elizabeth and Lauren (the story is told in alternating perspectives). They are enjoying their summer after their high school graduation. They both have been accepted to the same university but they live on opposite sides of the United States. When they get their housing assignment from the university, they start communication via email. This is their last summer before everything changes in their lives and at times they rely solely on each other.
