Overview

In the choice between love or family, is it possible to have both?

A sweet coming-out lesbian romance about the journey navigating culture and expectations to finding self-acceptance.

At a crossroads in her life, Mikaila Mohamed has made a list: all the girls from her past she needs to have a very important conversation with. She’s been saving the hardest one for last: Ashleigh von Bronckhorst, her old high school roommate.

Coming from a close-knit, conservative Muslim family in South Africa means Mikaila hasn’t dared dwell too much on her complicated feelings for Ashleigh. Meeting her now, though, when Mikaila’s on the brink of freedom, could change everything.

What will it be like being around Ashleigh again? Supported by her mosaic of misfit friends who seem so ready to take on the world with her, can Mikaila finally make a choice? Sometimes a leap into the unknown is all it takes.
