Rhiannon’s world is small - a part-time library job, half-finished plans, and a friendship circle that’s moving on without her. When Odelia, the daughter of her mum’s oldest friend, turns up to stay for a few days, Rhiannon braces for the worst. Years ago they couldn’t stand each other. Odelia was the golden child - driven, polite, competitive - everything Rhiannon wasn’t. But this time, things are different. They walk, talk, and remember. Beneath the teasing and contradictions, a new connection grows - tentative, confusing, and impossible to ignore. As old friends Beth and Kerri re-enter the picture, tensions rise, jealousies flare, and Rhiannon begins to question not just how she feels about Odelia - but what she wants for herself. Flunk: Preferences is a queer coming-of-age story about rediscovery, first love, and learning that sometimes, the people who annoy you the most are the ones who understand you best.
