It Ends with Sunsets (Trust Series #1)
TRUST SERIES #1
She believed being the best was the only way to be loved. Until losing changed everything.
Maria Corazon Diaz is a STEM student who's built her life around academic excellence. For her, success isn't just a goal-it's a necessity. Validation, pride, and love have always seemed tied to being the top of her class. She pushes herself beyond her limits, terrified of failure, terrified of disappointing anyone.
But everything shatters when, for the first time, she loses-to Lavena, a girl who seems perfect, effortless, untouchable. Lavena becomes everything Cora wishes she could be-flawless, admired, and undeniably brilliant. What begins as intimidation spirals into obsession. And in chasing perfection, Cora slowly begins to lose herself.
Blinded by insecurity, she pushes away the very people who see her beyond her grades-including Kiyo, her rival-turned confidant, whose presence reminds her too much of the person she can never become.
In losing everything she thought made her worthy, Cora discovers that trust and love begin with accepting who she truly is.
