It's the mid-1990s, and 15-year-old Guernsey schoolgirls Renée and Flo are not really meant to be friends. Thoughtful, introspective and studious Flo couldn't be more different to ambitious, extroverted and sexually curious Renée. But Renée and Flo are united by loneliness and their dysfunctional families, and an intense bond is formed. Although there are obstacles to their friendship (namely Flo's jealous ex-best friend and Renée's growing infatuation with Flo's brother), 15 is an age where anything can happen.

It's a year and a half on from Paper Aeroplanes, and Renée is now living idyllically with her Auntie Jo. They even have geese, and Renée likes to sit and watch them, wondering if she'll ever find 'the One' - someone who will love her no matter what and be there for her no matter how bad things get. She and Flo are in their final year at school, and they've got some tough choices to make - like will they go to university? And if so where - and will they go together?

Tara er TV-producer, singlemor og på jagt efter kærligheden. Eller i hvert fald en mand, der kan overbevise hende om at give den en chance. En aften tager hun på date - en date, der ikke går helt som planlagt. Dagen efter er hun en internetsensation, da en video af hende er gået viralt.

Tara muss sich als berufstätige Single-Mutter Anfang 40 und einzige Frau in ihrer Firma einiges anhören. Auch die Feministin Cam, die aus Überzeugung Single und kinderlos ist, wird von ihrem Umfeld nicht gerade gefeiert. Und die Mittzwanzigerin Stella wünscht sich sehnlichst ein Kind, doch um an einen Erzeuger zu kommen, muss sie tief in die Trickschublade greifen. Als ein haarsträubender Fehltritt von Tara sie zum Gespött der Nation macht, springen ihr unverhofft zwei Komplizinnen zur Seite.
