Love Story Symphony
By @Jonelyn Grace Abajo
Jacelle Smith, a gentle and idealistic high school freshman, believes in storybook love. Her world is a vibrant tapestry woven with the lyrics of pop anthems, each promising a perfect romance just around the corner. But when her heart shatters after confessing to her best friend, leaving "Teardrops on Her Guitar," she faces a harsh reality: her carefully constructed romantic fantasies clash brutally with the messy truth of real emotions. Armed with a diary and a playlist, Jacelle embarks on a decade-long journey, navigating the confusing melodies of first crushes, heartbreaks, and self-discovery. Each chapter is a new song, a new lesson in love's symphony, pushing her to confront the painful dissonance between expectation and reality. Can Jacelle finally compose her own happy ending, one note at a time, or will she be forever lost in the echoes of unfulfilled dreams?
