'It's not supposed to hurt this much'.
When Pia met Josh in sunny Siargao, she did not expect to fall in love with him at all. They are polar opposites: he, a small-town boy already contented with his simple life on the island. And she, a big city girl just looking to have some time away from the city. But the universe plays its wicked games sometimes. Because the truth is, they did fall in love. They spent the whole summer together basked under the island's sunsets, windy road trips, bright beaches, and heavy suntans. She fell for him and he fell for her. Hard. Or probably, that's what Pia thought. Because once she got back in the city, Josh stopped replying to her messages.
"Did he just ghosted me?!"
What follows is a whirlwind romance of two very different people falling in love on a tropical island. Because when you're in an unfamiliar paradise, nothing's as exciting as falling in love with a complete stranger, right?
As Dallas and Drayton navigate life in the spotlight, Spencer is navigating intense feelings for Nathan - her best friend's brother.
