Saoirse Mcdonnell is just another 18 year old girl tipping along through life when she has to move to America from Ireland with her mother for a year.
Saoirse is free spirited and although quite a gregarious girl she tends to avoid emotionally restrictive and intimate relationships. She cannot tolerate people being overly emotionally possessive of her.
"It was easier back home, they knew, everyone knew I didn't do relationships and seriousness, they understood, my friends understood, everything was fine before I moved here, Here nobody understands, that nothing happened to me, I haven't been fucked over countless times to make me this way, Im not scared of anything, I just don't believe in love. I don't believe in being able to love stronger then the love for my family and my friends. Don't get be wrong sure I've fallen in love before, but just like when you fall to the ground, you get back up and carrying on with what you were doing, when you fall in love, you get up sooner or later and carry on with life, Love is a hoax, others may believe it, I don't, so go ahead, call me a bitch, call me fucked up, I don't fucking care"
Follow Saoirse on her journey, watch yourself, love her and hate her, wanting to hug her and wanting to slap her silly.
" Im just one girl, you'll get over it, once you find a girl to get under"

Logan's fine. Really.
He has no problem (has resigned himself) with the fact that his best friends (whom he also has a terrible crush on) are dating. The fact that their other two friends are *also* dating absolutely doesn't pose any additional problem. Neither does Logan being the sole only child of their group. Really, he's okay.
But then comes Virgil, a teenager (barely adult, really) from the north, fearful, promised in marriage and destined to give up everything to join them. The good news is, the "giving it all up" part isn't actually that bad. The bad one, well...
Virgil's life has been turned upside down, for the better. And what Logan doesn't know yet is that he's about to do the same for him. And that is a second good news.
