Big Island

An opposites attract, young adult lesbian romance about finding a way to fight for your future.

At a summer journalism course for teens in Tasmania, privileged Samira, from a conservative, political family, and over-achiever country girl Alex bang heads.

While covering a news story together, their fiery clashes turn into first love. But when things fall apart, they're left hurting.

A year later, they discover they're both interning for the same university student paper. Awkward isn't even the start of the tension between them. One thing that hasn't died is the attraction between them. Still bruised and battling expectations from friends and family, can they be brave enough to repair what broke them?

Contains mature themes.
