A former sorority girl starts a prestigious poetry MFA program only to discover that one of her classmates is her high school crush-turned-nemesis—and he can't stop writing about her.
No one’s more surprised than Leigh when a prestigious MFA program in North Carolina accepts her. A former sorority girl, Leigh’s the first to admit she knows more about the lyrics of Taylor Swift than T.S. Eliot, and she’s never been able to shake the “all-style-no-substance” feedback her high school crush made in their poetry workshop. Leigh's insecurities become all too real when Will, that same high school crush-turned-nemesis, shows up at orientation. And now, he’s William, exactly the kind of writer Leigh hates, complete with his pretentious sweater vests and tattered Moleskine. Leigh’s determined to prove herself—and William—wrong by landing the program’s highly-coveted fellowship. But Will’s dead-set on proving himself too, and in a small cohort, they can't keep apart for long.
When Will submits an intimate poem (that's maybe, probably, definitely about Leigh) to workshop, they’re both forced to realize there’s more to the other than what’s on the page. And what’s between the lines may be even more interesting.

Critic reviews
"It's no surprise that a novel about poets would feature some of the best romance writing I've encountered in years. My grad school career repeatedly flashed before my eyes. I melted into this book. It's rare that a debut author becomes an instant auto-buy, but whatever Katie Naymon writes next, please inject it into my veins."—Kate Goldbeck, bestselling author of YOU, AGAIN

As a counselor, I have to say that things rarely resolve so quickly. I also found that slowing down the narrator's voice helped it be less high-pitched.
Angsty poetry writers

Anyways, the book is well written, the psychology of the characters rings true, and the MC’s are appropriately dense.
The author is talented, even if reading about Leigh and Will is a chore. The book would have been better if the conflict were grounded in something besides insecurity and delusion. That’s far too much like real life.
Is this real life?
