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. Bad enough that her tattooed,
New Yorker tote bag-carrying classmates haveread all the right authors and been published in the countrys leading literary journals, Leighs insecurities become all too real when Will, that same high school crush-turned-nemesis, shows up at orientationas a first-year in the program, too.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 herselfand Williamwrong by landing the program's highly-coveted fellowship. But Will's dead-set on it, too, and in a small cohort, they cant keep apart for long. When Will submits an intimate poem (thats maybe, probably,
definitelyabout 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.
