And so we gambled for love. Warning: The content of this book is written about three years ago; contains humongous errors, cringe-y lines, and bleurgh-zzz narration.

Set in a flower shop in Manhattan, New York City, Snooki takes aim in finally seeking for thrills in a new place that she couldn't find in Manila. Something she thought would quicken her heartbeat, apart from her caffeine intake. One blooming day, she found an archer with a bow and glittering arrows that aimed at her heart. And in just a wink, he hit bullseye. While Snooki was in a trance brought upon by the arrows, she was also pursuing the love of her senile flower boss and her old love interest. The said love interest was, get this, the uncle of her very own eye-candy! How frickin' cool fate was for it to devise their lives like that? She thought, it was like a double love, double fun! Ngunit sa gitna ng kawalan ng pag-asa ni resident blooming girl, Snooki, sa kanyang sariling love-life ay hindi pa rin niya sinukuan ang paborito niyang golden would-be should-be lovers. As she felt her own love's fate immobility, she was already leaning to just settle and be the independently happy gal that she always was. Yet what she didn't know was that, from the very beginning, she was already glittering in the eyes of her archer. In the heart of the overcrowded Manhattan, there she was, someone whom he only saw. It was only up to him to pluck up the courage (which he totally didn't have, by the way!) and poetically tell her how he felt. Or else, they would not happen. Or else, New York would suck. Or not. We'll see. This book is part of a series.
