Drifted to Survive (Isla Julieta Series #2)

Adelyn Eliza Belardo is a talented, smart, wild, and sometimes naughty girl. She was living a carefree life until her world was turned upside down. The burning of her family's small house led them to an unexpected turn of events: residing with Engineer Apollo Reoja-a mesmerizing, ambitious hunk spearheading a grand renovation project at Coast Point Hotel. Amidst the ashes of her past, Adelyn's heart kindled a new flame.

Crushing hard on the charismatic engineer, Adelyn finds herself entangled in a web of dreams and desires. "Libre lang ang mangarap," she often says, believing that dreaming is free. But what happens when she learns that not all dreams come without a price? Her uncontrollable desire to become an architect, to uplift her father's standard of living, and to win the affections of the unattainable Apollo Reoja, are all challenged by the stark reality that dreams sometimes come with a hefty bill.

Why, despite all her efforts, does she always seem to fall short? Why does the world demand so much for a mere ounce of acceptance? Battling societal expectations and her inner turmoil, Adelyn grapples with the agonizing questions: Why do you need to prove yourself to be accepted? Why does every achievement feel insufficient? Why do you have to drift just to survive?
