LOVESICK GIRLS SERIES #1 Santie Villamer grew up believing that silence was her safest place. Books became her world, grades became her armor. She was the kind of woman who found comfort in pages rather than people. The kind who would rather chase perfection than feelings. Sa mata ng iba, she was everything they wanted to be. Smart, calm, composed and perfect. But in the stillness of her own mind, she was breaking. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga hindi sapat ang matalino lang. Baka nga walang halaga ang tahimik kung wala namang makakarinig sa mga daing mo. She almost believed that. Almost- until he came. Jazz Anderson Calvero. The man with a camera slung around his neck and a grin that could expose everything she tried to hide. The man who carried a light so blinding, it illuminated even the darkness she hid in. He saw her in ways no one dared to look. He laughed at her seriousness, broke her walls with ease, and before she knew it, she was living outside the shadows she once called home. For the first time, she allowed herself to be seen. Raw, imperfect, human. But fate has a strange way of testing those who finally learned how to feel. Because when she thought she had finally learned to embrace the light, she realized that some lights were not meant to warm you, some were meant to burn. STARTED: 10/26/25 ENDED: ---
