At a UK college's orientation, eighteen-year-old Phoebe befriends her high-school crush, Luke, and the two begin a relationship defined by missed connections and metaphorical ghosts from the past. It's a heartfelt, entertaining rom-com, with Luke's and Phoebe's alternating points of view providing authentic freshman-year perspectives about struggling to fit in, balancing school with social lives, and living away from home.
