Back Cover:
Lahat ng tao ay may kanya-kanyang love story. Mga kwentong tayo mismo ang nagmimistulang manunulat. Mga sariling lovelife na nais nating magkaroon ng happy ending.
Ang unang nobelang ito ni Marcelo Santos III ay tungkol sa limang taong nakikipagsapalaran sa mundo ng pag-ibig – isang umaasang babalikan, isang naghahangad na mahalin, isang natatakot nang umibig muli, isang nagsusumikap na makalimot at isang nag-aasam ng maligayang pag-iibigan.
Ang nobelang ito ay para sa mga taong iniwan at ipinagpalit, para sa mga taong nagging panakip butas, para sa umaasang mamahalin, para sa umaasang babalikan, para sa mga Hopeless Romantic.
