Rejecting Iya's confessions is Jacob's norm. After sharing three kisses that Jacob claimed as meaningless, will Iya finally give up--or will she keep holding on until her dream romance turns into reality?
***
"I'm falling for your meaningless kisses."

Tatlong halik. Lahat, walang kahulugan. Hindi ko dapat panghawakan pero paano ba ang hindi umasa kung parang meron ang wala?
***
I have always wanted to be Jacob Tejeron's bride since I was six years old. People downplayed it to just having an intense crush, a puppy love, or a superhero model. Naisip ko, baka gano'n nga. Baka tinitingala ko si Jacob dahil siya 'yong hero na laging nandiyan para sagipin ako sa lahat ng palpak. I thought I could outgrow this feeling. But like a bad habit, I kept on looking at him; I kept on wishing with him; I kept on falling for him⁠-when all I am to him is a sister.

Hindi ako dapat umasa⁠-hindi dapat aasa⁠-kahit sa mga halik niyang wala namang kahulugan.

Pero paano ang hindi umasa?

If you are a fan of childhood friends to lovers trope, this story is for you.

(The second half of the story is so good.)

4.5 stars! I really like Ms. Madrigal's writing style. Alam mo talaga na sanay na sanay siyang magsulat
Galing. The only book that I haven't read from this series yet is Cliché, mostly because it's still ongoing. Can't wait for Clueless and TOTGA to be published so that I can add them to my collection 😩👌✨

I've read this for the first time when it was still on-going in Wattpad. And since then, I fell deep inlove with the book. It instantly became my comfort story, and rhen became my comfort series. You see, I'm obsessed with wholesome stories that includes families and friendships. It was so endearing that they're (almost) all at the same compound- I also love and treasure our little neighborhood here. It always reminds and makes me want to appreciate more the people around me- around our home ever since I was born. I love that they were all so gentle and kind. The warm that they radiate will always melt my heart. The characters and their stories felt like home. I will always go back here whenever I feel like I'm drained and needing a refill of love. God, I love ate Eloisa for making this wonderful story/series.

This is another cute read of childhood friends, brother's best friend to lovers kind of trope. I'm loving the innocence and the Jacob's perseverance in proving himself that he's worthy for Ishayana. I love how light and fluffy this book is 💖

(tier: just a good time)

this was a cute childhood-friends-to-lovers story that made me gush and all that. i liked the characters, the found-family trope, and everyone's dynamics. but it's on a lower tier because i thought the story was cliché and predictable from the very beginning.

the kalmado plot that i need 😌💗

the last time I read diz was back in my junior high school years, and rereading it now feels just like the first time I read it, sofer heartwarming and very light lang. the simplicity of the romance, paired with the author's engaging writing style is just ... 🫶🏻🙌🏻

4.5/5 ✨

It took me so many months to finally be able to read this. I wasn't able to read this before it became a paid story on Wattpad so I waited for the published book to be on Sale on Shopee and boy, the money I spent was worth it.

I kept seeing this being recommended by lots of people on Twitter and they were right. I liked it from start to finish.

I really like this kind of trope and the author was so good with words, my heart kept constricting. I love how young love was portrayed and how it should be handled.

I'm just so happy that I was finally able to finish reading this because my mind always goes back to how Jacob & Iya's story went. Now, I am so curious for the second installment of the series but I still have to wait for another sale to afford it hehe ~
