Aisling and Maya’s connection is unexpected. Maya has recently returned to the University of Edinburgh for her second year, confident in her place there and in her first proper relationship with her childhood best friend, Ethan. Finally, she is one of them, those happy couples, self-satisfied in the knowledge that they are one half of something solid. Aisling is a first-year student from Ireland, ready to leave her controlling family behind.

Aisling was brought up in a strict Irish Catholic home, in County Clare, with an alcoholic mother, who abused her. She figured out in high school, in 2013, that she was gay, and had a secret girlfriend, but it didn’t work out. Now she’s at college in Edinburgh, and meets Maya, who is dating Ethan, but is drawn to Aisling, and soon Maya is confused about her sexuality, and they deny for a while what is between them. She breaks it off with Ethan, and they become a couple.
