Come As You Are: A True Story

By Alexis Cadelle

It's 1993. Grunge is at its height and Alexis Cadelle arrives in France to study abroad with her best friend, Stacy. Alexis has reluctantly left her boyfriend, Shaun, behind. They have promised to wait for each other--only she meets Phil, a cute student from England, the first day she arrives. They like each other but with their lives based in different countries, what kind of future can they possibly have? The year has just begun but already, it's complicated.Both humorous and heartbreaking, Come As You Are is the true story of Alexis's year abroad in France. The struggles she faces as a college student, during the height of Nirvana and pre-internet, still resonate decades later. What was supposed to be a year of studying turns into a much larger lesson about love, friendship and the injustices in life.
