● 內文簡介

Sebastian attends a university orientation day and meets Frida. Frida is edgy, caustic, funny. As the day unfolds, a friendship develops, but Frida isn’t quite what she seems.

The Things That Will Not Stand follows Sebastian as he attends a university orientation with his best friend, Tolly. Spying the ‘perfect’ girl, Sebastian heads to the campus cinema, hoping to find the courage to start a conversation, only to have his attempts interrupted by ‘the boyfriend’. But then Sebastian meets Frida, but Frida isn’t quite what she seems. She tells a lot of stories, and Sebastian realises that he can’t quite pin her down on the truth of anything, including who she actually is. The day ends with truths revealed, bonds cemented, with a promise of more to come.
