Iska Diaries Series #3 Aisendra Kalista Ravena - "Iska" has always been an average student. She never failed, and that was enough for her... until college, when her parents' expectations pushed her to aim higher. For the first time, she set her sights on the Dean's List, only to be reminded that perhaps average was all she would ever be. But giving up was never her style. Between the pressures she's feeling and the unexpected closeness she develops again with Finn Orion Santellano - the boy from her past she swore to avoid - Iska's carefully built walls begin to break down. And in the most unlikely place - the UP's main library, she finds an escape through a series of anonymous letters. In those quiet, secret exchanges, she rediscovers hope, she embraced it. It became her escape, her quiet pause from the exhausting reality she lived in. started: september 01, 2025 ended: book cover by: sheensofroses (leisheen)
