"Cecily has always done everything as she was supposed to: taken the right classes, gotten the right grades, applied to the right colleges. But after a lifetime of following the rules, she surprises everyone by arriving for her freshman year of college . . . and turning around. There are infinite possibilities for Cecilys unexpected gap year. She could volunteer, or travel around the worldbut, for now, Cecily is content to do absolutely nothing. What follows is a year of snarkily observed self-doubt and self discovery during which Cecily must ask herself, for the first time, what does she really want to do with her life?"

And the answer is .... nothing. I was so disappointed with this book and disliked most of the characters. Even gave it to a HS senior thinking that since it was her age group that the book was about that she would like it - she couldn't even finish it. As an adult, I thought that I found it boring because of my age, however, that wasn't the case. It's just a boring book.
