When This Golden Boy's Life Goes In A Downward Spiral... A Special Girl Turns His Life Around
There were only two things that mattered to Jake Atkinson at college – baseball, and his impossibly hot girlfriend.
He lived a life that most people can only get through Hollywood; he had the talent, the looks, the physique and the social status all combined together to form one unrivalled, golden college experience.
There's just one problem.
Being a college golden boy requires you to stay golden.
When Jake's focus slips and his baseball career starts sliding away from him, his entire world shifts overnight.
Everything he thought he could count on in his present and his future is disappearing and he can feel his spirit hardening by the minute.
He isn't used to failure, and failure doesn't suit him.
However, it feels, though, all is not lost.
Sometimes, building yourself up is about more than regaining the things that got away from you; it's about forging your way through new paths instead of rehashing old ones.
That's a lot for Jake to understand, especially as he struggles with the reality of his new position – but maybe with the help of one of his plain but pretty classmates, he'll be able to shift his perspective and learn that it's possible to glimmer without being gold.
