I'm a teenager, I make mistakes. I just don't call them mistakes. I call them memories. Memories of love, of pain, of trouble, of friendship, of fun, memories of my life. I'm not gonna say, that this story is a perfect one, with a cute love story without any dark twists and turns, where everything that's important is just a single guy, becoming the love of my life, no. I admit, there's a boy involved, but it's not only about him. It's also about friendship and family and just... Well, kind of everything that makes life enjoyable.
This might be a love story, but it's also the story of how I fell in love with my teenage years and I know it might not be a picture perfect one, but it's a beautiful one.

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.
