Isla Byrne has spent her whole life balancing on the halfway line, between Scotland, Ireland, and England; between family and independence, between who she is and who people expect her to be.
As the youngest sister of Ruesha Littlejohn and Shebahn Aherne, Isla's used to the spotlight finding her, even when she doesn't ask for it. Between her growing career at Arsenal and the sisters' popular podcast, there's not much in her life that isn't public knowledge, except maybe the reason she avoids talking about love.
When Arsenal face Barcelona in the Champions League, Isla's name starts trending for reasons that have nothing to do with football. A harmless TikTok, a few suspiciously timed interviews, and one unexpected connection across the pitch soon have fans speculating. But Isla's sure of one thing, she's not about to become someone's headline.
Until she starts to wonder if, maybe this time, she wants to be.
