YA
Scandal at home causes Tasha to flee to Oxford University; a broken heart motivates her uptight British exchange-student counterpart, Emily, to live for three months in Southern California. As the chapters alternate between Tasha's and Emily's perspectives, the plot falters with too many far-fetched circumstances. Humorous incidents, such as Tasha's experience at a feminist protest, carry the story to a predictable yet entertaining conclusion.
