SAMPLE
Description: Kimmy Domingo knows that you hate her. But
she's a nice person, she really is -- as long as you ignore the
stories of people she's bullied, manipulated, and annoyed in
the past. She totally gets that you've gotten back at her by
having her fiance' dump her a week before their wedding.
Soon after, she quit her job, hopped on a plane, and just hid
from everyone who knew her.
A year later and she's back in Manila to be maid
of honor at a wedding she can't miss. She's home because
she's ready to start over, but she also knows that some people
at that wedding were responsible for the mess her life turned
out to be. The first step to recovery? Cutting off the ones
who caused her troubles to begin with: her best friend and her
first love.
