Man hater, mambabasag ng itlog, at hustler -- ito ang reputasyon ni Hope San Miguel. Wala naman siyang pakialam, sa totoo lang. Ang mga mata niya ay naka-set sa iisang goal: ang may mailapag sa kanilang hapagkainan. Kaya naman nang malaman niyang minamata at hinahangad siya ng dati niyang kaklase at ngayo'y sikat na basketball player na si Champ Fernandez, nagduda siya. Palagay ni Hope, isa lang siya sa mga playtime ni Champ na gusto lang makaiskor. Pero sa kanyang pag-iwas, umaandar ang oras, at unti-unting naiisip ni Champ na baka wala nga talagang siyang pag-asa rito. Hahayaan na lang ba ni Hope na sumablay si Champ sa kanya, o magagawa ba niyang bigyan ng pagkakataon ang pag-ibig . . . bago mahuli ang lahat?

{WATTY'S 2020 WINNER & EDITOR'S PICK.} Hopeless romantic and aspiring writer Mare Atwood has fallen madly in love with her childhood correspondent. There's only one catch-she doesn't know who he is. When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction

A (not-so) hopeless romantic writer. A weird (not-so-much of a) stranger. A lot of (denying) feelings in between. A (continuation of the online) connection that ends on 11 / 23.

She was always there, but he never once allowed their paths to cross with one another. She had always been that "number one fan" way before he made it big as a singer-songwriter. Eliseo Salvatierra never thought that one day, he'd find himself dedicating his songs to Mia Takahashi, his biggest fangirl and an online stranger. But the question is, will she forever support him in his milestones? Or will she forever stay as the girl... he never met? An epistolary.
