Starting this post with a tweet–

I've spoken to my editor (hi ninang @alyal_20) about the ~fate of Yihwan's book today, and I think it's safe to say that

New #romanceclass releases: Flipping the Script and Kiss and Cry!

Last Saturday, March 2, #romanceclass had a “double-feature” book launch for Danice Mae P. Sison’s Flipping the Script (#romanceclassFlicker #2) and Mina V. Esguerra’s Kiss and Cry (#Six32Central #2).

I caught yesterday’s 3PM show, and here’s a list of notable things I loved in this rerun:

Front of house. I was super excited to see that FOH setup because I am a sucker f...
