Beyond the Distance
Andi Mariano has spent her high school years quietly admiring Joseph Huang, a freshman marketing student, from afar. When her heart is shattered by the news of his relationship with another girl, she retreats into herself. But an unexpected exchange program to Japan gives them the chance to reconnect in ways Andi never anticipated.
Through shared experiences, Andi learns that love isn't about holding on to someone who isn't meant for her- it's about letting go, finding friendship, and embracing self-discovery.
As she navigates her emotions and a growing bond with Joseph, Andi realizes that sometimes, the most meaningful connections come from understanding yourself first.
