“It’s always been real.”

Under the plastic palm trees of San Diego, Izzie Thatcher is focused on her year of community college and preparing for a university transfer while living with her platonic (yes, really) best friend Joe Gavin.

What she didn’t plan for was Joe’s traitorous older brother, Evan Gavin, crashing on their couch, and her school loan being denied. When she needs a job and is forced to rely on Evan, the one person she can’t trust, she discovers that she only knew half the story about Joe’s past.

What starts as animosity shifts into a secret romance built on intellectual debates, stolen kisses, and a ticking timeline. Raised in broken families, Izzie tries to convince Evan their relationship is worth labeling, putting her friendship with Joe and her university transfer at risk.

Irrelevant Situations is a deep exploration of what leads to situationships and whether we accept the version of love offered or let it go to find the love we deserve.
