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.
