Working-class Ruby’s angry about capitalism and the patriarchy. Middle-class Johnny’s anxious about A-levels and losing his virginity. They really don’t need a photo of them unexpectedly kissing being shared on Insta, when everyone knows they’re just each other’s indie gig-going BFF. Dating disasters, exam stress and a potentially lethal leavers party follow, while they agonise over whether to get together, knowing it could go horribly wrong but realising they can no longer be just friends.
