Emilia Varelli thought moving to Essex to be closer to her younger brother would give her a quieter life. She was very, very wrong. Now 21, Emilia owns a tattoo studio from one of the bedrooms in her house, lives with her freshly-graduated brother Theodore, his best friend Mattheo, her boyfriend Enzo, and somehow spends half her time with the Greengrass sisters too. Add three animals, too many phones, questionable decisions, cigarettes, social media and two Italian siblings who would rather argue in Italian than English… Her house isn’t a home. It’s a fucking circus.
