Synopsis
When Filipino American Cris and rural beauty Anna are drawn into a ten-day whirlwind romance, their short summer together unfolds as a love story for the Philippines, and years later, blossoms into a love story for God.
.....
A deeply emotional romance novel... that absolutely subverts romance.
.....
Romance, Subverted
The "Meet Cute"
-- There is nothing "cute" about their "meet." Their first conversation is her absolutely roasting him. A head-on collision between two wildly divergent worlds.
Cinderella, Subverted
-- Our "Cinderella" does not need the prince's validation. She holds him in "intellectual contempt."
Rich Boy Saves Poor Girl
-- Rich boy will not save the poor girl. Poor girl tries to save him... and fails. Spectacularly. A further subversion of the romance subversion.
The Simple, Innocent Rural Beauty
-- There is nothing "innocent" nor "simple" about our rural girl. She's like a high-performance Ferrari who uses her beauty and brains for war.
Billionaire, Subverted
-- Our powerful yet powerless rich kid won't be saved by his "princess in shining armor". He has to save himself.
Antagonist. Protagonist
-- The Antagonist is not who you think. The Protagonist is not who you think (definitely not your two main leads).
The Heroic Mantle
-- Ultimately, the novel subverts itself, transferring the mantle of heroism from the lovers to the Dearest Friend, who then bestows it upon the smallest, the most humble, the least of us.
