Black college student Sydney Ciara navigates academics, love, and the online space, in this coming-of-age story told through her posts, messages, and more!

Sydney Ciara Warren is excited as she starts her first year of college, but also nervous. Despite her interests in writing and fashion, she has no idea what path will ultimately be right for her. As she tries to figure out her place on campus and in the world, she finds solace in blogging about her life, putting together outfits with meaning, and spending time online.

It’s within the digital space that she connects with someone who goes by YoungPrinceX. She may not know “X” in real life, but that doesn’t stop her from developing a crush on him. Except she's also navigating her first romantic relationship, with a sweet boy on campus named Xavier (who maybe could be X???).

Can Sydney Ciara not only make it through her first semester, but thrive in real life, as much as she seems to be thriving online?

Perfect read for those looking for:
*New Adult
*Black love stories
*Novels told in nontraditional formats
*Main characters who love fashion
*Chronically online characters like in Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao
