You know what? Being 19 is really bizarre! And my heart goes out to Selin as she navigates her first year at Harvard in 1995. Troubles with roommates, the formation of beautiful friendships, and a very confusing and agonizing crush on a boy round out this hilariously dry novel about the absurdity of it all.
