Reviews
“ College Girl is a sensitive, yet laser-precise look at the joy (and indignity) of college life. Weitz’s prose is lovely, direct, and wincingly honest.� — Diablo Cody, Oscar-winning screenwriter of Juno and author of Candy Girl “A raw and resonant debut novel. Readers will recognize themselves in Weitz’s very real narrator— I know I did. Like Natalie Bloom I hovered on the fringes of frat parties, wondering why everyone was having the time of their lives except me. In the end, Patricia Weitz’s novel is not only compelling and compassionate, but a page- turner. Natalie’s transformation, drawing on strengths she doesn’t even know she has, had me cheering.� —Megan McCafferty, New York Times –bestselling author of Second Helpings and Fourth Comings “Weitz’s assured debut follows the trials one painfully shy college student faces when she ventures beyond the safety of the library. . . . Weitz masterfully captures the collegiate atmosphere as seen through the eyes of a troubled, sympathetic young woman.� — Booklist “This debut novel unwraps an intriguing downward spiral, deftly portraying social and psychological implications of college life. Natalie’s need to come to terms with her history, slowly revealed throughout, is well worth the read.� — Library Journal “Both cringe-worthy and compelling, self-absorbed Natalie will remind many readers of their own awkward youth. . . . A deft, modest coming-of-age tale from debut author Weitz.� — Kirkus “With College Girl Patricia Weitz has created an everywoman for our bewildering times, a woman who transforms before our eyes into a philosopher of heartbreak and redemption.� —Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City “Sharply observed and unflinchingly honest, College Girl is a sexual coming of age novel that will resonate with anyone who remember the bitter sweet emotions of their first love affair. Weitz’s depiction of the underbelly of the student dating scene is so uncannily perceptive that it will make you squirm.� —Fiona Neill, author of Slummy Mummy

Synopsis
A raw and resonant debut novel (Megan McCafferty) and a vivid portrait of life on a modern college campus. College senior Natalie Bloom is beautiful and ambitious, but also painfully insecure. At twenty, she s still a virgin, never even having had a boyfriend. At school, Natalie hides out most weekends in the library until she meets Patrick, her fantasy (she thinks) of a cultured, intellectual Prince Charming. But the more time they spend together, the more Patrick brings out her worst insecurities. And before Natalie s ready, she winds up losing her virginity and her sense of direction, as her emotional responses take a dangerously self-destructive turn. Soon it ll take only the most extreme measures to reclaim her sense of self, her confidence, and her ambition. Insightful, moving, and achingly self-aware, "College Girl" is an intensely real portrait of a character whose insecurities are recognizable to us all, and of a time of life that changes everything.
