The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

LOVERS ON CAMERA. BEST FRIENDS BEHIND IT. BUT ONE THING'S CERTAIN: THE KISSING SCENES ARE DEFINITELY NOT SCRIPTED. 25-year-old actors Jaxon Lewis and Ramil Cariño are best friends, famous for their online personalities and great chemistry. When their Agents gave them the biggest opportunity of auditioning for a role in the world's most anticipated Book-to-TV Adaptation called "As Long as You're with Me," things went spiraling down because Jaxon and Ramil got casted for the roles they didn't audition for. Fictional characters Levi and Andres are your clichéd romantic-comedy trope of the nerd falling for the jock in the books -- a gay couple. But at least they're one of the leading roles, right? This is good for their careers. It's no big deal for them -- after all, it's just work. It's not like Jaxon's excited for those kissing scenes anyway -- nope! He's definitely not going to mess them up just to get more retakes. And he definitely isn't crushing on his best friend for a very long time now. Definitely not. ↠ ON-GOING FIRST DRAFT, will contain errors.

FEATURED ON WATTPAD FRESH READS 21/07 Asha has watched pretty much every rom-com to ever exist and read every romance novel to have ever set foot in the world of literature- in fact, she's even written some successful teen romance novels of her own on Wattpad, which practically makes her an expert. So, how hard could it be for someone who essentially has a Ph.D. in the 'studies of luurve' to make the stereotypical school player, Kai Watson, fall head over heels in love with her? And with the help of her best friend Mason, it should be a walk in the park. Except, it's not. Heck, it's more like a crawl in the Sahara desert. It doesn't take Asha long at all to realise that love couldn't be more different from what she had envisaged in her head and in just a few months she learns more about love, in all its forms than she could have ever imagined.
