Like, having an arranged marriage and being in love. It was magical but now that I really think about it, it's a bit silly. Why? It's simple. Less freedom. Girlfriends. Boyfriends. Sleep-overs. Parties. Journeys. You can't possibly do all of those things when your hands are tied. Besides, what if you don't love that person? And that you'll never, ever, learn to love that person? Can't you choose the person that your heart wants instead? Seriously, love is complicated. • • • • • Kira Castelle is an amiable, easy-to-talk-to, and a laid-back 17-year-old lady that has sworn to put love aside and continue reaching for her dreams. Not until a perfect storm happened. When females turn 18 and males turn 21, they are assigned a marriage partner by the government. With this, they just have to wait for the country to find their compatible partner and become happy. When Kira Castelle finally turned 18, she has to meet her partner. Neal Valastro. A drop-dead gorgeous man of stone. He's the epitome of perfection and Kira's polar opposite. The problem is, will this work out just fine for Kira? Will, she ever be Ready? or Not? • • • • • Highest Ranking: #1-closefriends #3-contemporary #19-perfect First Story (give this novel a chance, folks)

Na-try nyo na bang magpalipad ng balloon na may dalang papel kung saan nakasulat ang mga wish ninyo? Eh, obvious naman na hindi iyon makarating ng langit sapagkat made-deflate rin naman ito, diba? Pero... Have you ever wondered kung saan iyon mapadpad? Kung saang lupalop ng mundo ito matatagpuan? Kung posible man, may tao kayang makakakita o makakabasa sa nilalaman nito? Alam kong curious kayo, syempre. Sino ba naman ang hindi? Curious din ako kaya ginawa ko ito because of three things; 1. Gusto kong malaman kung swerte ako at may magchat sa akin na nabasa niya yung laman ng letter ko. 2. Siyempre gusto ko rin namang magwish. Marami kasi akong pangarap sa buhay at saka, we'll never know baka matupad ito ni God, diba? And lastly, 3. Bored. Wala akong magawa nung time na iyon kaya nagtry ako. Bonggang-bonga na nga yung ginawa ko kasi para na itong love letter kaya binonggahan ko nalang din ang pagsulat. Pero, Oh my, paklay! Sino ba naman ang mag-aakalang, doon nagsimula ang lahat. • • • • • Highest Ranking #13
