A tender and hilarious story about queer girlhood, high school sexual politics, and growing up in a world that’s determined to box you in.
Sam and Joey are best friends, and are both on the Year 10 dance team at a prestigious Sydney private school. But when Joey’s ex-boyfriend leaks her nude photo, her world is turned upside down.
Meanwhile, Sam’s caught up in her own problem: the debate partner who’s, like, totally in love with her. When scrunchies start to go missing and rumours fly about a kiss at a party, the girls find themselves spinning into unfamiliar territory.
