Fame. Fear. Future. The rich in money, and the wealthy in love. In the town of Maravilloso, especially for someone new... eyes can be deceiving. Hindi ang pinapakitang kaanyuan ang laman ng kalooban.
Catherina Milena Cruz is a best-selling romance author hiding behind a pen name. In real life, she's an introverted teen who prefers silence over small talk, hates people, and has zero tolerance for those who comment on her plus-size figure.
Hindi lang pagkain ang kaya niyang kainin, kundi pati na rin ang mga nakakapikon at mga panget na tao na nasa paligid niya, kaya niyang kainin nang buhay!
Because of her grieving and unforgiving heart, she's built high walls around her life... so high, even her own family struggles to get in. Friendships don't last long. Everyone gets shut out.
But life turns like a wheel, and fate flips its pages when she least expects it.
There will always be someone, at least one crazy-meddler, who dares to climb the walls she built. Two, three, or even four pals who will read past her cover and become curious enough to open the chapters of her life she keeps hidden.
And for the first time, she's suddenly willing to unseal the book of her life. In a meaningful twist of fate, she allows a new character to enter her story.
And as the plot reveals itself right before her eyes, she realizes this is something far beyond her imagination... a story she never thought she'd ever live.

However, being an ABM student, she somehow found herself stepping outside her comfort zone. She was able to show her true self, especially when with Kersten, her only friend.
