|summary=''Student'' is an intense novel written in compelling fashion, but I struggled to connect with the unsympathetic characters.
}}
When Allison secured her place in Nottingham University, she thought of it as a way to escape a miserable home life, with an absent father, drunk mother and un-committing boyfriend. She thought university would be a place for intellectual debate, and the creation of loyal friendships and love. However, she quickly realises that student life isn't like those rosy pictures you get on prospectuses. In ''Student'', we see a university experience defined by a trinity of drugs, lust and study, one that changes Allison and everyone around her.
