  Summary

  POV: consciously making bad decisions that lead to even worse decisions because you hate yourself and think you are undeserving of real love and compassion, then receiving a rare opportunity to start over (or self-sabotage yet again).

  OR: 19 year old Charlie Spring, after barely completing one harrowing year in UCL, transfers to University of Leeds for a fresh start.
