Miandra Kanari "Mikana" Villegas has always been overlooked by her parents. They only noticed her whenever she makes a mistake. The weight of their words, especially her mother's, has suffocated her for as long as she can remember. So when college came, she made the decision to study in Manila with her friend, hoping for a fresh start and some much-needed peace.
But even before classes begin, it seems the universe has other plans. Santiago Victor "Santi" Ravello, the swimming team captain, Chemical Engineering department's pride, and, apparently, the newest source of chaos in her life. From the moment they cross paths, clashes and banter become their daily routine. They find each other insufferable and enjoys pushing each other's buttons.
All Mikana wants is a peaceful college experience, but why does the universe seem so determined to make that impossible?!
Yet, as time passes, something shifts. The irritation fades, their fights lose their edge, and in their place, something new takes place-something unexpected, something neither of them is quite ready to admit.
