An ambitious American arrives at Oxford to fulfill a lifelong dream, ready to trade hometown certainty for the storied halls, tutored seminars, and rain-swept quads of England. Her carefully plotted future begins to shift when she meets a charming British student whose easy humor and insider knowledge of the city crack open her disciplined exterior, pulling her into late-night talks, secret corners of the college, and a romance that feels both sudden and inevitable.
But the charm hides a complication: a secret he keeps that could upend everything she has worked for. Torn between a clear career path and the messy realities of the heart, she must decide what kind of life she truly wants. My Oxford Year is a tender, emotionally rich story about ambition, belonging, and the choices that redefine who we become when love and identity collide.
