In the rainy heart of Manchester, two lives collide in the quiet halls of a prestigious sixth form college. Charlotte Carson, 18, is returning to school after a summer that changed her life forever-her wealthy parents have died in a tragic accident, leaving her with a sprawling estate, more money than she knows what to do with, and a crushing loneliness that no inheritance can soothe. Behind her poised, composed exterior is a girl barely holding herself together.
Phoebe Carlton, 24, is the new, sharp-witted maths teacher with a no-nonsense attitude and a past she rarely talks about. Also from privilege, she's estranged from her controlling parents and entitled siblings, choosing independence over their expectations. Teaching is supposed to be temporary, a stepping stone-until she meets Charlotte.
When Charlotte walks into Phoebe's classroom, neither is prepared for the quiet electricity that passes between them. Their bond deepens through late-night tutoring sessions, shared secrets, and the unspoken understanding of what it means to lose your footing in the
world. As lines blur and boundaries are tested, the two must decide how far they're willing to go for a love that society-and the law-might not yet understand.
In a world of whispered rumours, school politics, and emotional turbulence, The Equation of Us explores the delicate tension between grief and healing, rules and rebellion, and love in its most complicated form.
Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of grief and sudden loss, parental death, complex family dynamics, emotional manipulation, romantic and sexual relationships between an adult and a student, and instances of power imbalance. Readers may also encounter depictions of social pressure, emotional vulnerability, and intense emotional situations that could be distressing.
