"Hear My Story, You Fugly Bitch!"
Everyone knows the beloved couple: Adeline-the enigmatic, "unpopular" beauty with a razor-sharp smile-and Roman-the brooding, brilliant heir who never lets anyone close. They're the perfect romantic leads in every story. The girl you root for. The guy you swoon over.
But what if you've only ever heard one side?
This novel is a collection of intertwined short stories told from the perspectives of the people orbiting around them. Each chapter pulls back the curtain on a different side character-once background figures, now center stage-as they share their truths, twisted memories, and unsettling realizations about the so-called main characters.
Ryder, Roman's younger brother, caught in the crossfire of this toxic love story.
Izzy, the classmate who never forgot what Adeline did to her.
Dwi, the loyal "best friend," always sidelined by someone more dramatic.
Esther, the childhood friend who knows what Roman was like before.
Rowen, the second male lead who once thought he had a chance.
Seraphina, the hot, popular girl cast as the rival, but never asked to play that role.
They all once rooted for Adeline and Roman.
But that was before their stories.
