17-year-old Mina Xu is known for three things: having the highest grades in the class, her sarcasm, and her uncanny ability to survive private school politics without ever truly joining the game. She keeps her head down, eats lunch with her headphones on and dreams of university far away from her tiny British town.
Then Effie "Fawkes" Whitmore shows up - a rebel with a lighter in her pocket, a buzzcut she gave herself, and a cryptic past that includes being kicked out of at least two schools. She calls herself Fawkes like it's a warning and eats noodles with chopsticks like she's making a statement.
Mina is intrigued. Against all odds (and Mina's better judgement), the two fall into an electric friendship that veers dangerously close to something more. But Fawkes is causing chaos and Mina's trying to keep her life from falling apart. As November 5th approaches - the night Fawkes claims she's going to "blow up everything" metaphorically or otherwise - Mina has to decide: will she follow the spark or play it safe?
A slow-burn sapphic love story about identity, found family, and falling for the girl who might just burn the world down to build something better. Perfect for fans of the Osemanverse
