Series 2 kicks off at the hazy end of the long hot summer of 1996, just after Rae has finally revealed the truth about her mental health to her gang of friends and shared that moment with object of her lust, Finn. Things are pretty much as good as they get in Lincolnshire. But there’s something looming on the horizon which threatens to disrupt the glorious status quo…COLLEGE.

Determined to put her days as a psychiatric patient behind her Rae is hoping college will be her fresh start. But the thought of starting somewhere new, surrounded by cool girls and brutal boys, is frankly terrifying. Rae also finds herself in scary new territory with Finn. Could he be interested in being more than friends? If so, it’s all she’s ever dreamed of – so why is she freaking out so much?

And home life is as unpredictable as ever…now that Rae’s Mum has married toy-boy Karim she’s acting even more irrational – if that’s even possible.
