Summary
Newcastle University, 2004, three eighteen year olds meet and become firm friends. But while her new friends are confident in their own identity, 18 year old Lisa Swain is still figuring herself out.
After uni, Lisa finds herself settling down in the north east, getting married and having a baby. But when Lisa's wife is killed in a hit and run, she moves back to the Manchester area with her daughter to start afresh.
Four years after losing her wife, Lisa is lonely. Letting herself be set up on a blind date might turn out to be a terrible plan. But, then again, maybe it might just turn out to be the best thing Lisa ever did.
(Eve Panesar-Unwin is a character in this, but she is written in a way that you don't need to know anything about her for this to make sense. So non-Eastenders fans can treat her like an original character.)
