(TAGLISH) It's easy to put someone in the friend zone. What happens if you change your mind? Meet Nicole Mojica, a constant student achiever, a member of the student org, and a social klutz. There's only a month before high school ends and she's already planning her last vacation with Franco, her long-term (in high school years) boyfriend, before college starts. Enter Anderson "Andy" Harvante, an aspiring chef on the side and Nicole's best friend since Andrew's parents moved to the city. When he isn't trying to be compared with his more ambitious brother by his own parents, he's busy cooking for Nicole who just lives upstairs. Andy has always been there for her, almost like a shadow. Good and kind and reliable. All is well until Andy and his parents are suddenly moving to the other end of the city. With graduation around the corner, Nicole starts to get anxious as she questions everything about her high school years. And maybe - just maybe - true love is sometimes just right in front of us.

(TAGLISH) What happens when your life is a rom-com... but you don't even believe in true love? A broken engagement has changed Freddie Rivas. The once big-hearted, lovable stunt coordinator slash is now a suit-wearing, guarded fundraiser. Unlike his younger sister who's getting married, he has no time or interest in getting swept up in another romance that will just end up in another scandalous, messy break-up. Audrey Parfan is the queen of rom-com flicks. She has it all: award-winning performances, seven-figure deals, box office hits, loving fans, a dog named Hugo, and her best friend, Freddie. Fangirls want her life. Fanboys want her love. But behind her success are secrets that she's adamant to keep hidden just to protect the people she loves. When both are coerced into making a film together for charity, the two make a deal: Freddie won't ask about Audrey's reason why she left, and Audrey won't ask about Freddie's broken engagement. Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken. To move forward, Freddie and Audrey will have to reckon with their pasts - the friendships they've damaged, the secrets they've kept. credits to @soundthealarm for the book cover
