Preferences

Preferences

Rhiannon’s world is small - a part-time library job, half-finished plans, and a friendship circle that’s moving on without her. When Odelia, the daughter of her mum’s oldest friend, turns up to stay for a few days, Rhiannon braces for the worst. Years ago they couldn’t stand each other. Odelia was the golden child - driven, polite, competitive - everything Rhiannon wasn’t. But this time, things are different. They walk, talk, and remember. Beneath the teasing and contradictions, a new connection grows - tentative, confusing, and impossible to ignore. As old friends Beth and Kerri re-enter the picture, tensions rise, jealousies flare, and Rhiannon begins to question not just how she feels about Odelia - but what she wants for herself. Flunk: Preferences is a queer coming-of-age story about rediscovery, first love, and learning that sometimes, the people who annoy you the most are the ones who understand you best.

For Perla, this is more than enough money to transcend her idea of a lifetime legacy. Today is the day Lola Perla confronts her long-standing personal covenant: to bail an ex-lover’s son out of jail.

And so Paddy, a young innkeeper generally considered a fool and a child, finds himself in the Moss Hall through a magical well and, in his kindness and desire for love, breaks the laws of the underworld.
