The thing with Valentine's Day is, either you hate it or you love it. And Zade Pascual definitely belongs to the first category. Para sa kanya, isang araw lang ito ng commercialized version ng pag-ibig. Walang kakilig-kilig at napakalayo sa true love stories na nababasa niya sa mga libro. Nasubok ang kanyang anti-Valentine's sentiment when she unexpectedly meets Andreau Cortez-an award-winning actor and film student at her university-in the cafe where she works-- on Valentine's Day of all days. Andreau, their new cafe regular, surprises Zade by asking for her help with his latest short film project, which she hesitantly agrees to. Despite a rocky start, Zade discovers the real Andreau Cortez beyond the camera and celebrity gossip. Over the fika-not date hangouts and late-night conversations, their effortless friendship blurs into something more, to the point na akala ng lahat (yes, friends and family included) na sila na ni Andreau. Caught off guard by her evolving feelings, Zade must confront her own heart. Hanggang best friend nga lang ba ang tingin niya kay Andreau? Can their story unfold like the happy endings she loves in books? Well, sometimes, the best love stories take time to tell.

Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones.

Anong gagawin mo kapag natuklasan mong hindi ikaw, ikaw? Malabo di' ba? Okay lang. Kahit si Milo nalalabuan din. Mula sa normal at nakakabagot nyang buhay kung saan ang pinoproblema nya lamang ay ang buod nya sa Noli, ang gurong gawa sa biceps na si Taguro, isang mabahong siga, ang ultimate crush nyang si Makie, isang paulit-ulit na panaginip, at tutchang na naghe-hello world, sa isang kurap natuklasan nya ang sarili nyang nasa gitna ng isang digmaan ng mga sinaunang pwersa sa modernong panahon. Kung saan isa siya sa pangunahing piyesa na magiging susi ng kaligtasan o kapahamakan ng buong mundo. Nakakapressure ba? Wala pa yan. Nalaman din nyang isa siya sa bagong henerasyon ng mga Napili na tinutugis ng isang organisasyon dahil sa kakayahan nilang gamitin ang mga bertud na may kakaibang kapangyarihang kapag nahinang ay kayang pamunuan ng isa ang buong mundo. Samahan pa ng pakikialam ng mga nilalang ng sinaunang Pilipinas na inaakala lang natin sa lumang konteksto lang matatagpuan, pati narin mga importanteng tao ng kasasayang akala natin matagal nang patay. Magulo? Oo, pati nga ako nalilito eh. Mula sa korning panulat ng malikhain (at maruming) utak ni John Policarpio, samahan natin sila Milo, ang henyong si Tifa, misteryosang si Makie at ang bantay na si Jazz (o kahit sila na lang, wag na tayong idamay) sa isang epikong paglalakbay sa moderno nating mundong puno ng misteryo, pakikibaka, mahiwagang armamento, diyos at diyosa, diwata, bayani, mababahong kampon ng karimlan, mga patay na buhay, engkanto't lamang lupa at iba pa. Para sa pagtuklas ng mga sikreto ng ating kasaysayan, at tunay na katauhan ng mga Napili, habang nakikipagtungalian sa mga nilalang na nais kumitil sa kanila. And to promote world peace nga pala. Rakenrol!
