Enter a story of love, healing, and the magic in between. In this interactive novel, you get to make the choices that shape Ricky Lagdameoโs life as he tries to heal from a broken heart. Every decision matters, and each one brings him closer to understanding who he is and what love truly means.
Ricky is still reeling from his breakup with his first boyfriend, Albert Lumontad. He had hoped they could mend what was broken, but the universe seems determined to deny them a second chance. Left with unanswered questions and lingering pain, he struggles to move on. Just when he feels he might lose himself completely, another guy named Randy Pambid unexpectedly enters his life. Will Randy help him find happiness again, or will he only bring more heartbreak?
Now Ricky faces a life-changing choice. Surrounded by his supportive cousins and friends, he is offered two magical pills. The Never Pill promises closure and healing from the past, while the Forever Pill offers the chance for a new kind of love.
Caught between letting go and holding on, the choice is yours to make. Is magic enough to mend a broken heart?

Never/Forever by Jahric Lago is a BL romance with a touch of magical realism. It tells a love story that feels real and personal, especially when it comes to pain, heartbreak, and trying to find yourself again after everything falls apart.
What makes it special is that it feels interactive, like youโre not just reading the story but walking through it with the characters. The magic adds depth, but the emotions are what truly stay with you. In the end, itโs not just about loving someone else. Itโs about learning how to come back to yourself.

Never/Forever by Jahric Lago is a beautifully gentle interactive story that feels like looking into your own heart..โฃ๏ธ
Itโs the very first interactive book Iโve ever read, and itโs a BL book too..
So it felt extra special and fresh to me!๐ฅฐ
It really does exceed my expectations in every way..โจ
Torn between the Never Pill to let go and the Forever Pill to love again๐, Rickyโs journey shows that neither choice is truly wrong.. letting go takes courage, and starting over takes bravery too..
With its warm, heartfelt tone and deeply relatable, Filipino-rooted charm, this book reminds us that healing doesnโt come from magic, but from the choices we make for ourselves..
And it gently tells us: whatever choice you make in life, it is the right one..
because itโs yours.
I truly, deeply loved this book, and Iโm so excited to read more of Jahric Lagoโs works!
If you havenโt read it yet, please do.. ๐ฉท
I promise youโll be so glad you did ๐ฅนโจ

Honestly this book is such a fun and easy read, this one is an interactive novel so you get to choose which ending you would like. I love how the author expressed some scenes in a witty way, na you don't need to feel "ilang" while reading it.
It's more fun kapag binasa mo lahat ng possible endings.
This is actually my second interactive novel, and my first BL romance.
I was sad on one ending Kasi it really happens in real life, so if ever you felt so alone don't ever forget that there's someone who's willing to listen to you. Choose to be happy even though it's hard, you can do it. You can overcome it. ๐
So if you'd like to read something easy and fun, you need to read this one. I'm looking forward to read more from this author. ๐
