All books now available on Amazon in ebook, audiobook, and paperback formats! Book 1 Book 2 Book 3 How do you make a good first impression? Trial and error. College is supposed to be an exciting time, an opportunity to meet new friends and make lifelong relationships. However, Kaitlyn was never the social type. Talking to people has always been hard enough, not to mention romance. Getting transported into a dating sim seems like the perfect opportunity to change that. But even here, affection is not so easily earned. As Kaitlyn is beset on all sides by grueling classes, stinging loss, and her own faults, her hopes for change slowly give way to a fear that she'll never escape the endlessly repeating semester. Then again, anything is possible with enough practice. Besides, it's much easier to make a good impression the tenth time around. And no matter how many times she fails, she can always try again. And again. And again. Come join the Discord!
