Two very different girls go to college and become roommates. Megan reinvents herself as she tells more and more stories about her life back in Kansas. Lauren is the rich girl who lashes out and her family's money pay to sweep it under the rug. Even with all the different lifestyle they have lived, they form a strong bond that lasts three years of college. The summer before their senior year Lauren's mother falls ill and Megan is her support system. While on the island a tragedy occurs that redirects their friendship in ways in will not recover.

I enjoyed this story, but I don't like flashback stories.
