Ledger Legends Series
To escape the shadow of her legendary mom, Mary has to prove herself at the most brutal accountancy school in the country, while dealing with trauma from her broken family and the unspoken feelings she has for her best friend.
...
Para kay Mary Antoinette Gonzales, ang pagiging anak ng OG accounting legend ay hindi blessing. It's a curse. Pakiramdam niya, lahat ng galaw niya ay may nakamasid. Lahat ng achievements ay laging may asterisk: "Of course, she's her mother's daughter."
Her goal: to make her own name. The problem? She landed at the National Accountancy School of the Philippines. A soulless university where every term is an elimination around and every student is built to survive. Pero paano naman mas dadali ang buhay niya kung mismong Director ng NASP, her mother, ang nagpapahirap ng buhay niya.
Mary's only "safe space" is Kiko, her childhood best friend. Ang taong nandyan throughout her life. Her parents' separation, her academic burnout, and even messy situationships. He's also the guy she's been lowkey in love with forever, but can never, ever tell. If she confesses, baka ma-friendzone lang siya-or worse, she'll lose him. So, she kept it to herself for years.
In a cutthroat world of endless debits, credits, and qualifying exams, Mary has to make a choice: will she just follow the script everyone has written for her, or will she finally break the ledger and build her own brand?
