It's Always Been You
Ellie thought she had outgrown her first love. Until the night everything falls apart. After catching her boyfriend in a betrayal she can't ignore, she finds herself reconnecting with Jace - her former best friend, the boy who once knew her better than anyone, and the one who quietly walked out of her life in high school.

Fragments of Him
She thought she'd let it all go---until the memories came back. Years after middle school, the past still lingers in unexpected ways. Through dreams and quiet moments, she starts to remember pieces of a time she thought she'd outgrown. A boy. A friend group. A version of herself she hasn't seen in years that she almost forgot about. What begins as nostalgia slowly unravels into something deeper---a quiet ache she never named, emotions she buried before she understood them. As she sorts through the fragments, she begins to realize: healing doesn't always come from forgetting. Sometimes, it comes from remembering. A reflective and emotional coming-of-age story told through memory, loss, and the subtle power of looking back. Based on a true storyComplete
Unwritten
Aliyah Suzette Mercado believes that waiting has its rewards. She is a writer, but there's one story she just can't seem to finish, it's as if something is missing. A story left unwritten-much like her love for a man she met online who introduced himself as Zy. Though they never met in person, she slowly fell, not just for the man, but for the feeling of being seen, valued, and enough pero bigla na lang itong nawala. Walang paliwanag, walang paalam, parang bula, a love that was left unwritten. She doesn't know where the story is headed or if it will ever be given a beautiful happy ending. What if not every story needs to mirror the past? What if hindi sa lahat ng bagay nakatuon ang atensyon ni Ali sa kwento nilang dalawa? Is there still a second chance for a love that was once left unfinished - unwritten?Complete
Before the Answers
Every year on her birthday, Ahana opens a list. A list of questions. Some are silly. Some are sharp. Some feel like wounds pressed too hard. She answers the ones she can. She rewrites the ones that changed. And she adds more questions - because life never stops demanding answers. Because growing up doesn't come with closure. Because some questions linger year after year, waiting. ****** Ahana was always the girl with big dreams, perfect grades, and the kind of ambition that made adults smile and other teenagers step back. But at seventeen, she makes a choice no one expected. Not even herself. She walks into classrooms that don't inspire her, laughs with people who don't know her, and stares at the ceiling at 2 a.m., wondering if this is all she'll ever be. There are toxic friendships that drain her, and boys who don't stay. There's guilt for not loving someone back. And heartbreak from someone who couldn't choose her. There are late-night breakdowns, and moments of insane happiness. And always - always - there's the list. Through it all, Ahana keeps writing. Because the questions still matter. Because she's still trying to become the girl her seventeen-year-old self believed in. 'Before the Answers' is not a story of perfection. It's a story of almosts, quiet strength, and learning to be okay with not having all the answers.Complete
