"Trust is like glass. Once it’s broken, it will never be the same again."
Jake, a small town guy, is already bored in the beginning of summer. He hasn't gotten anything that will keep him interested. But everything changes when new girl, Maya comes into town.
Maya is a girl who has lived in the city all her life. Her parents are incapable of taking care of her from being on business trips 24-7 so they do the most unreasonable thing: Send her to live with her grandparents. Not only that, when she seeks comfort from her 8-months boyfriend, Hale, she finds him to be cheating on her with her now ex-best friend. As she struggles to fit in a suburban town, she meets the hot neighbor, Jake, and they hit along very well.
Soon the summer is to an end and her parents are coming to get her. But over the past 3 months she has gotten comfortable, learned to fit in, but also to trust in love again. Will Maya be willing to risk ignoring her parents’ decisions for her own? Or will she have to give up the one person who truly loved fixed her life back into place, up?
Follow the tale of a truly, spiritual, summer romance.

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.
