    Summary

    First year of uni was supposed to be simple: new city, new people, fresh start.

    Instead, Carla Connor ends up in a chaotic house full of strangers, cheap wine, and too many personalities to keep track of, including one quiet, observant blonde who seems to see right through her.

    Lisa Swain didn’t come to uni to make friends. She definitely didn’t come to get involved.

    But somewhere between late-night kitchens, shared spaces, and conversations that hit a little too close to home, something starts to shift.

    Slowly. Quietly.

    And neither of them are quite ready for it.

    Summary

    In 1996, Lisa Swain is 19 and living a comfortable, middle class life with her parents and sister in a leafy Manchester suburb. Comfortable apart from the fact she’s struggling to come to terms with her sexuality.

    Having recently spent the night with her best friend - she’s left humiliated and considering dropping out of university.

    Carla Donovan is 21, and living far less comfortably, alone, in a freezing cold flat on an estate rougher than most prisons. Her brother Rob is constantly in trouble with the law, and she has to suffer the consequences of his actions. Her life has made her tough, and unforgiving, and she doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Without the support of her best friend Michelle - life would feel very bleak indeed.

    So what could happen when these two polar opposite, but equally troubled young women cross paths by chance on a night out?

    As time moves on and when fate continues to bring them together, during various stages of their lives - are they able to navigate so many changes and challenges? And accept that the universe keeps bringing them back to each other, and perhaps they are powerless to stop it?
