We can't wait for someone to save us. I guess this is what happens when the world's burning and it feels like you're the only one pointing at it yelling, FIRE . . .


A heart-stopping sapphic 'enemies to lovers' real-life romance set against the cult of influence by the highly acclaimed author of TikTok made-me-buy-it, Afterlove.


For Renée Barbosa (5 million followers) and Pearl Newman (GreenGirlPearl) the feeling's mutual—deep, undeniable loathing. Ren hates Pearl's calmly righteous perfectionism just as Pearl can't stand the 'burn it down' disruption Ren carries out with her wildly popular climate crisis activists, Out of Time and her former situationship, Tab. A loathing that's complicated further by Renée's prickly mother being an OG eco-activist turned government influence and Pearl's idol. Plus Renée being only one arrest away from serious trouble . . .


But when fate brings the rivals together for a sweltering summer under the guidance of vivacious rebranded influencer, Melody Munroe, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Increasingly cut off from the outside world at an isolated eco-community, Ren wrestles with doubts over Tab and questions her own beliefs as she and Pearl become ever more intimate. Tensions rise as activism and personal lives collide, and control spirals until true intentions come to light in an explosive twist.
