THERE is a belief that people will only ever truly experience life at nineteen and that there is one curse that is inevitable and inescapable: a life-changing heartbreak. People believe that at this age, everyone is destined to finally meet their doom in love and carry its weight until they are twenty-five.
However, Constantine Icaro refuses to believe it, no matter how true it was for many people, even for her friends. She is careful with love. She stands on her own ground with a firm belief that she will not be one of the victims of the curse.
Unfortunately for her, in February, she turned nineteen, and her ground wasn't as stable as she thought it was. A force came in that shook her entire world.
And ultimately, she fell.
