The Lease of Their Problems

After years of drifting between jobs and residences, Minnie decided it was time to settle down. Scoring an affordable condoshare in the heart of Ortigas, Minnie was ready to start this new life. But it turned out it wasn’t as new as she thought.

Strapped for cash and wanting to keep her apartment, Yong was desperate for a roommate. She would take anyone at this point. The eleventh one turned out to be the charm. But when she found out who it was going to be, she asked herself, “Is it really a stroke of luck or a cursed disaster waiting to happen?””

Minnie. Yong. Exes. Roommates?

This was fine. They’re adults. They could live together in peace and harmony, no feelings and history attached. Right?

Right.

Hearts and Sciences by Celestine Trinidad (Flicker #5)

Hearts and Sciences

While at the country’s top science high school, Marikit went from elementary school star to completely unremarkable student, and she’s been fine with that. Her quiet existence is disrupted on the first day of Grade 10 by the arrival of her arch-nemesis, Darwin “DJ” Javier. They used to compete in grade school science fairs, and their last match ended in a draw. This year, he’s determined to get closure–and a win.

As their rivalry commences, Marikit needs to step up and be a star again. And get to know DJ more, maybe get closer. To figure him out and finally defeat him, of course! That’s the only reason.

This novel is the 5th book in the Romance Class Flicker series, but can be read as a standalone.

Flipping the Script

Miri dela Merced’s film director grandfather and Pabs Paglinauan’s studio head grandmother had a huge falling out that ended Lolo Ikong’s career. At seventeen, Miri finds herself in the same summer film internship program as the down-to-earth film studio heir Pabs, whom she’s decided to automatically write off, just because of his lineage. As Miri gets a crash course in her expectations vs the reality of what’s it like to work on a real movie, her true feelings for Pabs become harder and harder to ignore. In between attending outdoor screenings of classic Pinoy movies and battling monster production assistants together, can flipping the script on a decades-old grudge be only a few sequences away?

LuvByte

FIVE STARS

What happens when the boy who left… finally comes home?

Tessa Manalo had always been where she was, in a small town where she was born and raised, now with a normal desk job, and a pretty quiet life. Once upon a time, she used to sit next to Sam Herras—yes, that Sam Herras—big-city living, talented, and a member of the popular boy group LuvByte. But all of that was in the past… so why would he message her out of the blue to tell her he’s coming home at last?

Heat level: 0

NOTED

[BREAKING] LuvByte member Oli reportedly dating a non-celebrity for over a year.

Hardworking and dedicated to her job, Grace was used to working long hours and spending whatever spare time she had alone. After a week of pulling all-nighters, she found her studio apartment suddenly occupied by her brother’s friend. Determined to make her unwanted visitor go away, she devised a plan with her pen and neon-green Post-Its. But who was this person staying at her house? Why did he work odd hours? And how was she supposed to keep him out, when he’d already started to let her in on his secrets?

Heat level: 0

ORANGE

She just wanted to sleep. He just wanted to sing. Couldn’t they just call it quits?


Being woken up by a loud singing voice was not how Yasmin envisioned her Sunday morning, especially after her night shift. Unfortunately, she lived in an apartment above the popular boy group, LuvByte.Being reported for “noise” is not what Kota would call his well-managed, money-making, life-changing singing voice. Too bad his neighbor and her cat hated his guts.He’s annoying. She’s intimidating. Yet they can’t seem to help but run into each other…

First Time for Everything

During lockdown, good friends Sabrina and Victor spent a few days together in the same apartment. She was starting a cafe; he was teaching her some of his family’s recipes. They made sandwiches, then made out, and almost had sex. At 39 years old, it would have been her first time. She panicked, fled, and did not return any of his calls or messages.

That night looked like a rejection, but Victor was never mad at Sabrina about it. They’d known each other for a long time, and if anything had happened he would have failed a relationship anyway. He was already everything to everyone, from keeping the family business running, to being the reliable eldest son while the world was seemingly on fire. No time to fall in love, even with one of his favorite people.

Two years later, Victor gets a call from Sabrina who asks if they could possibly try again. Which part? Everything.

Some Bali to Love

Ava Bonifacio’s plan was simple—attend her friends’ engagement party, look good, toast the happy couple and get out. What she hadn’t planned on was kissing Scott Sabio in front of the entire party to ward off the jerk her friend was trying to set her up with. Scott, who she hasn’t seen or spoken to in nine years. Scott, who used to know absolutely everything about Ava.

The kiss makes it a little hard to execute the ‘get out’ part of her plan. Especially when her bride-to-be friend announces her brilliant idea—a five day, all expenses paid trip for their little barkada to Bali to shoot content for her vlog—and Ava’s pride and pettiness refuses to back down on the fake boyfriend ruse she already started.

Scott’s more than happy to spend time with an old friend. He hadn’t exactly expected that she would speak to him, let alone fake date him after he ghosted her nine years ago. But as the unBalievable sun starts to rise and sets in Ava’s eyes, Scott dares to hope in a future for them, one beyond the beach shores.
