But her greatest love story\, the on e she lived\, never followed the simple rules. In the fall of her senior y ear of college\, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit cla ss: Sam and Yash. Best friends living off campus in the elegant house of a professor on sabbatical\, the boys invite her into their intoxicating wor ld of academic fervor\, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. They nic kname her Jordan\, and she quickly discovers the pleasures of friendship\, love and her own intellectual ambition. Youthful passion is unpredictable though\, and she soon finds herself at the center of a charged and intric ate triangle. As graduation comes and goes\, choices made will alter these three lives forever. Decades later\, Jordan is living the life she dreame d of\, and the vulnerable days of her youth seem comfortably behind her. B ut when a surprise visit and unexpected news brings the past crashing into the present\, she returns to a world she left behind and is forced to con front the decisions and deceptions of her younger self.
