*We are donating the proceeds to For Our Farmers, a youth-led non-profit organization that helps farmers in the Philippines. Visit their Instagram.

Filipino romance doesn’t have to include food…but it often does anyway. If you’ve read a #RomanceClass book you know all the big and small roles food has played in our stories. Food is history and culture. It’s home and where we’ve traveled. Food can be the catalyst for character reveals and plot shenanigans. We thought we’d make it easier for everyone and set our stories in a food park—the perfect place to hang out, eat the best food, and find HEA. Welcome to #RomanceClass NomCom, happy to serve you kilig!
