Life is never the same for Nora, Sabrina, and Chie after they enter the talking stage.
Nora sends Arch daily encouraging texts with the hope of getting noticed. She never gets a reply until an accidental rant makes him respond. Their daily conversations blossom into romance, challenging Arch's priorities as a star athlete.
At Wanderland Fest, Sabrina expects to fangirl over indie music artists, not to revive a high school crush with Fort. Though he doesn’t seem to remember her, Sabrina is ready to start over, unaware that Fort also secretly crushes on her.
When Chie meets Ansel, she knows him as a red flag she wants only to be friends with. Just as they develop feelings for each other, Ansel's past love threatens their budding romance, and Chie has to step back from Ansel out of fear of getting hurt.
Despite the challenges, Arch, Fort, and Ansel realize that true love means seeking a connection deeper than a virtual bond.
Louisse divides her time between reading books, binge-watching films and tv series, and traveling. Her laid-back personality makes it easier for her to go where the waves of life take her, but her mind often wanders outside the atmosphere and to the galaxies left undiscovered.
Just like her fascination with watching sports films (because they're so inspirational), she writes because she also wants to encourage people to take a leap of faith.
She started writing when she was thirteen years old, but she started being a book nerd when she reached the age of fifteen.
Her most acclaimed work is A and D, which she started working on during her sophomore year in college (2010).
She is now a college graduate with hopes of her works being published worldwide.
my kilig deprived heart is now officially filled. i missed wattpaddddddddd.
as always, ate louisse served us some hot appetizing story. i prefer anselmo and chie's story, maybe because it's fresh on my mind but also it started not as a secret and chie is just the mature queen we never knew we needed. oh, my memer self is always surfacing back when i read wattpad so, pardon me.
reread using my physical copy that i bought during mibf'24 (binili nang walang pag-aalinlangan 💙). brought back memories when i first read this in wattpad while ongoing and having real-time updates lol but i gotta say, reading this in wattpad is much more enjoyable coz some pictures/gifs in the book are soooo dark i can barely see them 😭 (also, why did they change the picture of small pizzaS on a pineapple slice to A slice of pizza on many pineapple sliceS?!? that's different! that is not the opposite of pineapples on pizza.)
also found some inconsistencies/errors in the book lol did they not proofread this? this is an epistolary, they should've focused too on the date/time of the messages (ex. last chat was Feb 6 and the next was Dec 8? after 10mos?? lol and the time! last chat was 1:42am, read at 1:50am, next chat was 1:29am? whaat?? did they travel back in time?)
anyways. still a great read. i enjoyed it. and i'm glad they published this 💙💙
nora & arch: their story was the cutest! i find some chapters a bit boring but i still enjoyed it :)
fort & sab: too short for me, but i love fort sm esp how straighforward he is!! i just wish there had been more chapters bc i badly need more of fort & sab :(
ansel & chie: ok so i cried at the last few chapters. ngl i felt really disappointed with that ansel did. good thing he had that realizations in the epilogue and admitted his wrong doings. chie is my fave!!!!!! i love how she knows her worth as a woman and that she never settles for less :) she's a girlboss!
3.3/5 ⭐ as my final verdict and literally the overall estimation XD all stories we're alright, but the second story felt so out of place/ skippable story from the other two, and while I did liked the first and third story, both have that underwhelming ending. The third one was my fave but again, just like the first story, the resolution made was not that satisfying.
It's been years since I last read this but I still go back to it when I need a fun lighthearted read 🥹🥹 my 15 year old self is always happy to go back to you, anselmooo, fortunatooo, and archhh 🫶🫶
