I've brought this back to Wattpad as a free and complete story because schools have assigned it as part of 21st Century Philippine Literature but HAVE NOT taken steps to give students a full copy. How will you write about a book you haven't read? How can teachers grade you if they don't have a copy of the book? Anyway, the book is here. I'll add a discussion about the book to this story, at the end. Hope you pass your subject and discover books you want to read and discuss! Critique is welcome! [November 2024] I've updated the cover! This new lovely cover for the Philippine print edition is by artsbyannz. === About the book: Zack and Jasmine never dated, but no one else knows that. That story started in college, because she was being a good friend, and he needed help with something. The friendship and affection that followed were very real, but the lie kept causing trouble. Years later, after a falling out and real relationships with other people, the lie resurfaces to bother Jasmine one more time--when Zack's exes ask her to stop him from marrying someone they think is totally wrong for him. She's the only one who can help him, they say, because she's his best friend. They also believe that Zack loved Jasmine the most--and maybe still does.
