Overview

Hairdresser Ash believes she will never have another relationship due to a profound fear of being touched. Her admission onto the mental health ward is nearly over, but she still hasn’t recovered from her phobia. Harri is finding it increasing difficult to work in fast food catering due to her nerve damage. How can she smile at customers, let alone maintain a relationship, when half her mouth doesn’t work, and anything touching her there hurts so much? When Harri takes an overdose in a bid to get rid of her pain, she ends up being detained on the same ward as Ash; in the same bedroom, none-the-less. An instant attraction causes them both to reconsider their futures. But should they begin a relationship with one another when both of them still have things to deal with? And how will Harri’s domineering mother react when she finds out? A tender lesbian romance about working out how to cope, healing after trauma, and learning to trust again.
