This is a love story, set in a time where  been nearly ostentatiously regal and uptight was considered a definite normality, where women wore six layers of undergarments, and a type knickers that we now refer to as "skinny legged jeans", and men's trousers - or any garment - was unmentionable.
To be perfectly clear, this is a one hundred and something old love story that was never going to be simple, and it all started - on possibly the most miserable day of Charles Johnson-Frost's life, little did he know, that that day, his whole life were to be turned upside down by a single fallen white canvas shoe with a single strap, a narrow toe, and a low curved Louis heel, the type of shoe that every stylish young woman was wearing in the summer of 1915.
A funny love story that endures nearly sixty years, two world wars, the falls of three dictator-ships,  Winston Churchill, a super-model daughter, the troubles of been a principle at the most incorrigible boys school in England, and the first female prime minister ever.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
