Sixteen-year-old Isla Feely has always been the good one - the girl who listens, studies, smiles when she's supposed to, and never gives her parents reason to worry.
Sixteen-year-old Jamie Biggs is the opposite - London transfer, rugby boy with a brain full of chemistry equations and a heart full of everyone else's problems.
He's the one who fixes things.
She's the one who makes people feel safe.
When Isla and Jamie's worlds collide at Tommen College, what starts as shared study sessions and shy glances turns into something neither of them saw coming - first love, pure and bright and terrifyingly real.
But the summer brings cracks neither of them are ready for. A party in L.A. changes everything, and Isla comes home carrying a secret she can't tell anyone. Not her parents. Not her brother. Not even Jamie.
As she spirals further into silence, Jamie's left trying to hold on to the girl he loves while his own family battles to stay afloat.
Set in the heart of Cork, Isla & Jamie is a story about first love and first heartbreak, about what happens when the world stops feeling safe - and the courage it takes to start breathing again.
Tender, devastating, and full of hope, it's a portrait of two teenagers learning that love doesn't fix you - but it might just help you survive long enough to find yourself again.
