Until the Race is Over by Lyka Caparas

Senior high school student Jane Enriquez is the ‘dream-girl’ of all male students at Southridge Montessori. Well, except the geeky student leader Sean Villamayor. Opposing from the start, Sean never expected Jane would become his partner for this year’s Summer Camp Immersion. Will this be their worst summer? Or will it turn out to be different?

Don't judge a book by its cover.

There are lots of things that can happen in a summer camp especially when you're partnered with a girl you never think of anything as the popular queen b. Sean is blinded by his prejudices,  he's compulsive and judges people without knowing them, that's his flaw. Jaine doesn't care what other thinks of her and maybe that's why her reputation turned out well, like that. However at least they realized both their mistakes and made them right. I like the family aspect in the story.

Waiting for Whatever by Fay Sebastian

Denise knew pain at an early age. She has been waiting for her true love since she was 11, but she never gave up, knowing she'd meet him someday.
What she didn't know was that she already met the man she's been waiting for, and that he's sitting beside her at the airport. The thought never crossed her mind because she's seated between two guys who broke her heart before.

its 11:00 and I can't even form a coherent sentence maybe due to lack of caffeine, but anyway since the first time i read this to review, i knew i liked it ever since.
here are a few things I learned I learned that sometimes love is just not enough I learned that when you care for someone, learn to let go. if it makes them happy, let them go. Friendship is important, I really really love the aspect of second chances and forgiveness in this story. hint hint SETH *cries I can go and say more and more things about this but it will take ages and there's more to read. I really recommend this book and can't wait to read what's in store for us to read ♥
