Imperfect Bastard

The narrator is about to begin her studies at New York University and will be sharing a condo with her older brother. The same building is home to Drew Cavendish, her brother's best friend, the man she has loved for as long as she can remember. They were intimate once, and then he drifted out of her life. Now she has to live close to him again. She tells herself to keep her distance and act unbothered, but her heart is not steady around him. She has always handled her feelings by keeping her affection at arm's length, and now she must decide whether that is still possible under one roof.
