An Off Year by Claire Zulkey


Cecily’s ready to go to college. All of her friends are going. But when Cecily and her father get to her dorm room on move-in day, she changes her mind. And she and her father start a silent journey back home. Cecily spends the next year figuring out what she wants to do with her life. She also discovers who she is and mends some bridges.

I liked this book, but I don’t think it was great. There are definitely some funny moments, but overall, it sort of fell flat. It would be good for teens who feel as ambivalent towards college as Cecily does.
