Because of a tragedy, Isabelle Mendez had to stay in her childhood's hometown. Sa hindi inaasahang pagbalik ay pagbalik din ng ilang alaala ng kanyang puso. The fragments of cheerful life with her cousins and her friends in the province. Particularly, her childhood best friend, Genesis Raziel, is in their hometown too. The two met in an instant but both forgotten the memories they shared together. It is easy anyway! It's been years! The people you used to get along could forget. They are probably destined to never...make up. It's what Ish realized. But instead of a clear heart and mind, it ended up messing her feelings. Ang tanging alam ni Ish ay inis siya kay Genesis dahil sa turing nito sa kanya. At ang kapatid ni Genesis ang gusto niya. Ish got herself in trouble. She became unaware of her in between feelings. With the denying acts, will she be able to realize her true feelings? Or end up in a mediocre affection?

Akala ni Grace Encarguez ay alam na niya ang saklaw ng pag-ibig. Naging pundasyon niya sa kanyang puso ang pananaw na ito. Akala niya katulad ito sa mga librong nababasa niya na magiging masaya ang katapusan. Magmamahal ka. Magiging masaya ka sa kanya. Ibibigay mo ang lahat. At hindi ito kukupas. But she was wrong. Grace loved his best friend. She thought she was losing her mind. She didn't know why...why she fell to Densel Alegre? Hindi niya alam dahil baka by default na may unang nakapansin sa kanya? Na may unang taong kumuha ng atensyon niya? She didn't know how. Akala niya sa una hindi kukupas ang pagmamahal niyang ito. She thought love is fadeless. Pero bumagsak at nalusaw ang pananaw niya tungkol sa pag-ibig. Ngayon, Grace knows that love will just fade away. Madaling kukupas at hindi na magtatagal pa. It will never be fadeless anymore, isn't? Why we always choose the person who doesn't want us? Why we always want the person who doesn't love us? Why?

"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting. Well, this year will be fun... • • • • Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions. Trying to get away from her troubled past, she moves with her mom to California to start a new life, and potentially not screw this one up. There, she quickly meets Scarlett and Savanah, her new-found partners in crime, and her life finally begins to feel normal again for the first time in years. But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more. Hopeless devotion, if you will... • • • • !!!TRIGGER WARNING!!! • slight mention(s) of suicidal concepts • substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, PTSD • sexual assault, domestic abuse • strong language and mature scenes • • • •

After a late night fight between Alex Summers and her ex goes terribly wrong, her parents ship her off to spend a stress-free summer in Los Angeles. But the second she steps off the plane, Alex stumbles into California bad boy Elias King, a too-hot-to-handle heartbreaker with a taste for trouble. ***** When Alex and Elias find themselves stuck living under the same roof, their sexual tension's undeniable, but their differences set them on a warpath to destroy each other. Elias bets he can steal her heart and seduce her in thirty days, while Alex swears she can keep him one-night-stand-free and have him sober by the end of the summer. All's fair in love and war if you're playing by the rules, but this time around, there are no limits.
