Falling in love montage. Ciara Smyth. 2020.

Saoirse has a simple plan for the long hot summer before uni: party, watch horror movies and forget all her troubles by kissing girls. Between getting over her ex and dealing with the pain of her mum’s illness, Saoirse feels she deserves a break.

Enter the scene: Ruby, romcom fan and optimist. Ruby is the prettiest girl Saoirse’s ever seen, but Saoirse doesn’t want to get into another relationship. So Ruby challenges her to try a summer romance with the serious parts left out, just like in the movies. But what happens when the falling in love montage ends?
