Chrisnah Shely Perez has it all—a loving family, a close-knit group of friends, and a life of privilege. Despite her perfect world, she's never been spoiled; instead, she's kind-hearted, beautiful, and true to herself. Chrisnah is a lesbian, content with her circle of friends, and has no interest in romantic relationships. But her peaceful world is turned upside down when she meets Michael Gabriel Dela Fuente, a charming and bubbly new student who is, unexpectedly, a gay guy. 

Michael’s difficult upbringing couldn’t be more different from Chrisnah’s. Raised by a single father after being abandoned by his mother, Michael’s life has been a struggle. Yet, he’s determined to rise above his past. Even though he's confident in his identity as a gay man, his encounters with Chrisnah start to stir something in him—something that challenges both of them.

As they grow closer, their bond deepens into an unexpected romance that defies expectations and social norms. But just when it seems like they’ve conquered every obstacle, fate throws them a devastating curveball. Michael has been secretly battling a congenital heart disease his entire life, and now, his health is rapidly deteriorating. Chrisnah clings to hope, pushing Michael towards a life-saving heart transplant. 

But will love and faith be enough to overcome this ultimate test? Can Chrisnah share the life-changing news she’s been holding back, or is it already too late for their happily ever after?

She's He. He's She.

I narrow my eyes as I steal glances at Michael. There's something off about him today. Not the usual quirky energy he always has—it’s something else. His whole aura seems brighter, his smile wider. He's practically glowing, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. 


“Why are you staring at me like that, girl? Do I have something on my face?" He breaks into a grin so wide it almost looks painful. 


My brow shoots up instinctively. “You seem suspiciously happy today," I say, crossing my arms. "What's going on?" 


“Oh, nothing! Can’t a girl just have a fabulous day? Is that such a crime?” He waves his hand dramatically in the air, laughing a little too loudly, his voice almost lilting with a songlike quality. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think he won the lottery or something.
