Nothing is ever original in this world. No one is truly unique. We all share traits, ideas, values, and even preferences with other people. In a sense, we are a combination of everyone we've interacted with. However, Sadelle Mariano begs to differ. She is not some sort of combination. Better yet, she fills herself just right. She's all that she needs. That's a fact, and people are just an unnecessary annoyance in her life. 

Yet, when things go awry, and Sadelle ends up in a never-ending loop of changes dooming to disrupt her routinary life, does she bask in the shared celebration of her existence with other people? Or does she isolate herself in glorified individuality?

We are fragments of everything we've experienced, people we've interacted with, along with our own values in life. Will Sadelle realize, then, that things and people, to a certain extent, mirror one another? That in a manner, we're like secondhand stories as our pages are read but felt differently by each reader?

How can you tell your ex that you're depressed when he already died of the same case? How can a psychologist be mentally unstable even though he/she supposed to cure one? Leanne always dreamed to get out of the asylum. Yes, she has cancer, and she has depression. Depression is not the side effect of her cancer. It's the side effect of her dying. She always wanted to say alot of things to her ex, she loves him 'till now, but she couldn't, and she would never be able to tell him, because he's already dead. Erika always dreamed to get out of the asylum, but she couldn't, cause the strings of the asylum were attached to her. It's not because she's depressed, but because she's a nurse at the asylum. She suffers the exact pain as she aids her patients. It was as if she was having this deep connection between her patients. She has a boyfriend named Benzar, and like Leanne, she has alot of things to say to his boyfriend. But she couldn't. Not because he's dead, but because he's too busy. Leanne wrotes her thoughts on her notebook. It helped her clear her thoughts when nobody's with her. Erika records her voice on a recorder that her patient gave her. It helped her clear her thoughts when nobody's listening to her rants. They both record everything they felt, and everything they wanted to say to their beloved. It was the post scripts of their feelings. The tiny secrets of their little sensitive hearts. After all, nobody listens, just their diaries. This book is written in Filipino. Warning: This contains depressive scenes.

"ONCE YOU LOVE, YOU STAY, EVEN WHEN IT HURTS, KIB." Cassandra has always been different. Quiet, distant, and lost in her own world, She's not the type to attract attention, except from her twin, Camille. They're complete opposites: Camille is bubbly, always smiling, while Cassandra is deep, serious, and often lost in thought. But despite their differences, there's something special between them. Camille admires Cassandra's brilliance, while Cassandra secretly envies her sister's endless energy and the way she lights up every room. But everything changes when Kib comes into Cassandra's life. For the first time, she begins to smile, to dream, to live. Yet, even as Kib brings out the best in her, the questions linger. Why is Cassandra so withdrawn? What happened to make her this way? And can love truly heal someone who's been broken for so long? Behind every smile is a story, and behind Cassandra's brilliance is a darkness only Kib and Camille might uncover. But when the truth comes out, will it bring them closer, or tear them apart?
