Story
Holden, her online boyfriend, was the reason Alice lost a hundred pounds in the first place. Then he dumps her, just as orientation nears. She returns in gold, publicly ends things with him, and wins every bet on campus. She then boldly takes on a couple's challenge with Jace, while the whole campus watches her prove she is no longer the girl he left behind.
