The Freshman Parents is the first novel in a new series from author Ko Porteous, we were luckily enough to be involved in the cover reveal.

THEY’RE OFF FOR THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES. BUT ARE YOU?

Single parent Heather isn’t neurotic (honest!) — she’s simply dreading the day her only child leaves for university — so her meticulous checklists grow longer by the hour. When she seeks advice from a parents’ forum, she clashes with Scott, a single dad, whose “helpful” statistics and assertions about “helicopter parenting” leave her fuming.

Move-in day delivers the ultimate surprise: their daughters aren’t just room-mates — they’re self-declared best friends for life.

Despite their intentions to avoid relationships at all costs, unpredictable events keep throwing Heather and Scott together, making it increasingly difficult to ignore each other…

The Freshman Parents is one of those reads where it’s hard to believe it’s the authors debut novel. Ko created to wonderful characters, Heather who as a reader I immediately liked and Scott who I honestly just wanted to smack when he was first introduced. Although my opinion of him did change as the story progressed. And what a rich, layered and lovely story it was.

It’s warm, witty, engaging full of chemistry and a fun and relatable read. Cannot wait to read more from Ko!
