Feeling the heat from her Filipino family, a frustrated florist reaches out to a romantic “good luck charm” in this hilarious and heartwarming retelling of the Pinoy rom-com classic Got 2 Believe.
Some rumors turn out to be true…
Love isn’t easy. Especially when everyone seems to have found it but you. For florist Mara Barretto, her romantic life—or lack thereof—has baffled her close-knit family for years. Now that her baby sister is getting married, however, the pressure to settle down is at an all-time high. Then she meets Jay Montinola, a fellow wedding guest who’s equally single.
And rumor has it that every girl who kisses Jay finds The One immediately after.
So Mara does what any girl would do: try it for herself.
It's only a kiss—one that will supposedly put an end to her single life and thrust Mara into the arms of Mr. Right, wherever he is. Yet the moment Jay’s lips are on hers, Mara’s plan takes an unexpected turn. Will she finally find the relationship she longs for, or is true love a lot closer than she thinks?
From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way. Don’t miss any of these other fun titles…
