Bryn St. Jean is a brassy, vivacious, irreverent relationship columnist and online personality; a famous, pseudo-celebrity in her Southern college town. Vivien Leigh Martin is that quiet, weird, smart girl you knew in high school, who knows she’ll never be able to live up to her namesake or her mother’s exacting standards. But—and here’s the kicker—they’re the same person. Vivien reinvented herself when she moved away to college, and she hides her insecurities under green hair and a louder-than-life persona. Bryn is living the college dream: a hot-as-sin hometown not-boyfriend, an off-campus apartment, and a roommate who does all the cooking. But not all is what it seems. Even as Bryn, Vivien still feels the pressure to always be better. Be smarter. Be funnier. Get accepted to a prestigious journalism internship in Boston to start after she graduates. Then she meets someone who wants to tear down her carefully constructed façade. At 6’6, with a ponytail and a poet’s heart, Tobias Doan makes Vivien feel—dare she say it—dainty. And worthy. And wanted. But Tobias is going to make her choose. Between Bryn and Vivien. Between a painful past or a risky future. Does Vivien have the courage to finally take her own advice?
