Description Isla and Violet are a ‘lethal combination’. Their self-righteous headmaster thinks that’s an insult. They think it’s a cute name for a girl group.

Too-smart, too precocious and way too outspoken, it’s no surprise when these self-proclaimed soulmates are ‘separated’ until the end of the year. But the world outside their South London school is a divisive one for a cisgender Caribbean diva and her ‘Ethel Cain adjacent’ transgender bestie. As their cosmic connection is tested, one key question arises—will Isla and Violet be separated, or will they reign supreme?
