Fourteen-year-old Summer Holden never expected much from this trip - just a one-month vacation in the Philippines, filled with family reunions, endless food, and maybe a few awkward conversations with relatives she barely remembers. But falling in love? Yeah, that was definitely not on the itinerary.
Enter Sebastian Connor Elias - her uncle's charming, maddeningly beautiful, and way too cool for his own good godson. He's fifteen, effortlessly confident, talented, and, as fate would have it... her soulmate.
Seeing colors, other than black and white, for the first time? Completely unexpected.
Navigating a summer romance she never planned for? Even more unexpected.
One month, one boy, and a whole lot of feelings Summer isn't ready for - this trip might just change everything.

This is a work of fiction! Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are all a product of my imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or real-life events is purely coincidental. This AU has been used many times before, and I don't claim it as my own!
Also, expect some Filipino words, phrases, and expressions throughout the story. I may not explain all of them, but they add to the vibe!
