Summary
“You know, there’s a word for women like you.”
Lisa quirks an eyebrow. “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah,” Carla nods. “MILF.”
Lisa laughs then; a real filthy laugh that makes Carla feel totally weightless. The blonde casually slings her arm over the back of Carla’s chair, her face only inches away from the brunette’s as she leans in and says-
“There’s a word for women like you too.”
Carla blinks, her throat bobbing as she swallows. “Uh-huh?”
“Mmm,” Lisa hums. “Trouble.”

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?

Summary
“Doesn’t your husband do most of the work?” Carla asks, eyes widening as soon as she realises what she’s said. She scrambles immediately. “Sorry. I meant… Well. Not that women can’t— Oh god. I’m making it worse, aren’t I?”
“Carla, it’s fine… But there’s no husband. The farm’s mine. I do have a couple of staff who help me out though.”
“Wow… Must be hard work,” Carla says, blowing out a breath.
“Why? ‘Cause I’m a woman?”

Summary
It’s been six months since Peter left on his grand adventure and Carla is tentatively thinking about dating again. Not sure how to go about it, she gets a recommendation from Ryan (who is positively gleeful about the whole thing) to try a new app. No photos, no names, no identifying personal details. Just a brief summary of who you are as a person and see what happens.
Lisa has been single (widowed, she reminds herself) for three years. She is absolutely not ready to go hunting for ‘the one’ but she has to admit she’s missed the attention and having someone who’s solely for her to speak to. She just wants someone who’s not a mardy teenager, a colleague, or a suspect to talk to.
