Chronicles of Sta. Mesa Series #1
Do you have a skeleton in your closet? Something about yourself that you wish to keep a secret forever? Well, Olivienne Margarette Andrada does.
Only her closest friends know that Olivienne is still hung up on her first love in high school. After her many attempts of trying to move on from their almost relationship, unfortunately, to date, she still finds herself stuck-unable to look at other guys. Sure, she had other crushes after him-but nowhere near what she had for him.
She wasted many years inside a messed up limbo with that guy. But despite the many red flags, emotional grey zones, and countless blurred lines, deep inside, she knows that she still would have wanted to be in that limbo with him for as long as he was there. Rather than get out of it and live a life without him.
But what if one day, this little secret of hers becomes known to the public? Because unbeknownst to her that while she was pouring all her heartaches to one of her friends, Danielle, she was secretly writing a story about them. Danielle, in her frustration with her friend's almost relationship, wrote a fictional novel on an online platform . . . where Olivienne and her first love could actually end up together.
However, Danielle's first mistake was to think that none of her friends will know about this-not even Oli. But the joke's on her because unexpectedly, the story blew up. And now, people on social media are raving about it.
The problem is . . . she used her friend's real name in this story. That was her second mistake.
But it certainly wasn't the last.
Stella Marquez witnessed how her parents got separated because her father cheated. With the heartache she still believed that she'll be able to have that perfect relationship-and that's with Alvin. Her first boyfriend, her first love. Then on her father's wedding day, she met Daniel.
The morning she woke up with the same room with Daniel, everything changes. She made mistakes, after mistakes, after mistakes. Then she knew something about Alvin, her almost perfect boyfriend-or that was she thought. Will she ever correct the mistakes? Will she learn from it? or will she repeat it?
This is a story about love, forgiveness, lies and healing.
