Heartstrings and Missteps is a heartwarming and humorous tale of teenage love, friendship, and the complicated journey of growing up. Set in a vibrant Manila high school, the story follows Lucian, a fun-loving but romantically clueless senior, as he navigates the ups and downs of first love. When his confession to his longtime crush, Grace, ends in rejection, Lucian's world turns upside down. Enter Jill, the new girl who seems like a perfect distraction-until their budding relationship reveals they may not be as compatible as he hoped.
As Lucian stumbles through the chaos of young love, his best friend Nick-ever the loyal observer-tries to steer him in the right direction, all while providing witty commentary to the readers. Meanwhile, Faye, Lucian's steadfast friend who harbors her own secret feelings, watches from the sidelines, torn between supporting him and protecting her own heart.
Heartstrings and Missteps is a story about the mistakes we make, the lessons we learn, and the people who stand by us through it all, even when the path to love is anything but straightforward.
