Ashley's Dream — B.R. Kingsolver

Can a woman have both love and her dreams?Ashley isn't looking for love. Her dream is to travel the world, and getting tied down by a man doesn't fit into her plans. Relationships always get so complicated, and men always lie. It's better just to have some fun and no one gets hurt. When she graduates college and the job offers don't come rolling in, it's life as usual: working as the manager of a college town bar and spending time with her friends. But life doesn't always go the way you plan, and the next thing Ashley knows, she has two hot roommates interested in her. Things are not always as they seem, and Jeff has secrets. Her friends try to tell her something isn't right, but when Ashley is with him her common sense is smothered by his kisses and soft endearments. When Jeff's deceptions are revealed, his hot roommate Ryan steps in and tell Ashley that he loves her, but she pushes him away. When the job offer she has always wanted arrives, and her heart is torn between love and following her dream.
