Theory of Gentle Things

As a young Literature major and student leader at Hexagon University, Maria Isabella San Gabriel has learned to see life as a text to be analyzed. She believes in structure, purpose, and quiet discipline. But when a newly formed rival party challenges her organization's long-standing reign, she finds herself face-to-face with Aleksandr Amorsolo, the charismatic Political Science student whose words dismantle her arguments as easily as they charm an audience.

In the heat of student politics and intellectual sparring, she begins to question everything she knows-about ambition, leadership, and love. Because what happens when you meet someone who speaks your language, but not your logic?

Set against the backdrop of campus debates, deadlines, and late-night reflections, Theory of Gentle Things is a story about the minds we admire, the hearts we guard, and the gentle ways we begin to understand both.
