The story revolves around Joy Nelson, a young girl experiencing her first dance prom, which is a pivotal moment of social discovery and self-exploration. As she navigates her interactions with her somewhat unconventional roommates, Jerry and Sarah, Joy also begins to realize her own beauty and potential, especially in the realm of singing, amidst the backdrop of excitement and youthful exuberance. The opening of the novel introduces Joy Nelson returning to her shared room after a night of dancing, exhausted yet exhilarated by the experience. She is quickly drawn into the dynamic lives of her roommates, particularly the vibrant and bold Jerry, who embodies a carefree spirit. Joy's musings about the charming boys at the prom, especially Jack Barnett, reveal her youthful innocence and romantic dreams. However, as they prepare for more adventures, the narrative hints at deeper themes of identity and the challenges Joy will face as she confronts the realities of love, friendship, and personal ambition in this bustling college setting.
