   Summary

   For the entirety of high school, Mike Wheeler had longed to be out in the real world. But Indiana University was hardly the real world, and Mike’s life didn’t change much at all. It wasn’t as if it was impossible to flourish in college. His friends were certainly accomplishing it, in their own ways. Will was coming into his own, to say the least. More specifically, Will was having a lot of sex. Frequently. With at least half a dozen different guys.

   Mike knew that detail because he was Will’s roommate.

   or, mike wheeler and the no good very bad first semester of college
