Between Then and Now (Magnolia Heights #1)

Bonita Santiago has just graduated from college and is embarking on her career as a film producer. To earn respect at work, she must create a compelling short documentary on a topic she finds meaningful.

When Bon discovers that her neighbor and longtime friend, Ryan Miller, is about to join a post-pandemic medical mission in Batanes as a new doctor, she sees an opportunity and convinces him to let her document his journey. Initially hesitant and usually grumpy, Ryan agrees on one condition. Bon–being the extroverted, bubbly, optimistic social butterfly that she is–must help him ask out the girl he’s been infatuated with since med school.

As they dive into practice dates and pickup line rehearsals, Bon and Ryan navigate the complexities of their friendship and uncover deeper feelings that could change everything.
