• Heiress, Apparently Review

  Gemma Huang is living the dream: she’s a rising starlet in Hollywood, navigating auditions and red carpets. The only problem? Her “dream” life is completely fake. She’s not the glamorous, wealthy heiress her social media suggests. She’s actually broke, crashing on couches, and one terrible audition away from giving up. When a deep-rooted family secret…

• Eighteen Roses Review

  Lucia Cruz may be turning eighteen this year, but she is not the debutante type. Everything about a traditional Filipino debut feels all wrong for her. Besides, custom dictates that eighteen friends attend her for a special ceremony on her birthday, and Lucia only has one friend– Esmé Mares. They’ve stuck to each other’s side…
