Well-meaning but unaware of her privilege, Elliot, who’s white and queer, immediately takes up a regimen of parties and sex upon arriving at university instead of homework and declaring a major, she nearly fails all her classes. Set at Boston’s Emerson College, it traces Elliot McHugh’s evolution from insecure and self-absorbed to assured and affectionate. Well, maybe.Wood’s charming but uneven debut, a loose retelling of Austen’s Emma, is a sex-positive romp through freshman college life. And maybe even fall in love in the process. Elliot may make epic mistakes, but if she's honest with herself (and with you, dear reader), she may just find the person she wants to be. Or when her roommate's boyfriend turns out to be the biggest a-hole. When finals creep up and smack her right in the face. When the sex she's having isn't that great. But she may not be ready for the fallout when reality hits. But picking a major is the last thing on Elliot's mind when she's too busy experiencing all that college has to offer-from dancing all night at off-campus parties, to testing her RA Rose's patience, to making new friends, to having the best sex one can have on a twin-sized dorm room bed. Elliot McHugh is not one of those people. Ī hilarious and vulnerable coming-of-age story about the thrilling new experience-and missteps-of a girl's freshman year of college Some students enter their freshman year of college knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives.
