'A talented writer with attitude, and a fresh, original voice' Daily Mail
For Ren Barbosa (5 million followers) and Pearl Newman (GreenGirlPearl) the feeling's mutual - deep, undeniable loathing. Ren hates Pearl's calmly righteous perfectionism just as Pearl can't stand the 'burn it down' disruption Ren carries out with her wildly popular climate crisis activists, Out of Time and her former situationship, Tab. A loathing that's complicated further by Renee's prickly mother being an OG eco-activist turned government influence and Pearl's idol. Plus Renee being only one arrest away from serious trouble.
But when fate brings the rivals together for a sweltering summer under the guidance of vivacious rebranded influencer, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Increasingly cut off from the outside world, tensions rise as activism and personal lives collide. . .
