Description
When Renzie Chu transfers to a new senior high school after her family's bankruptcy and the loss of her mother, she carries more than grief-she carries silence. Now living in her grandparents' house in a quiet town and tries to adjust to her new life in a small town. Then she meets Yna Alvizo-a top student admired by many. From the start, Yna treats Renzie coldly-partly out of pride, partly out of insecurity. Their rivalry becomes intense, both in and out of school. Primo Wong, another top student, playful and persistent. Becomes her closest friend. They have a platonic friendship. As the school year unfolds, Renzie and Yna's finally begin to understand each other. But neither is ready to admit what they feel. And emotions grow complicated. Both girls carry emotional burdens-Renzie with her grief and Yna with her own struggles. As they begin to support each other, their bond deepens-not just as friends, but as two girls trying to navigate a difficult time in their lives. Sometimes, the people we fear the most are the ones who teach us how to feel.
