"Martha Aguas kind of has it all--she's an accountant who loves numbers, an accident-prone puppy that loves her, and the perfect wardrobe. Yes, she wears a dress size 24, her bras don't fit and she's never had a boyfriend, but so what? It becomes a big deal when her perfect cousin Regina announces her engagement to Enzo, the only boy she's ever loved (he doesn't know, so don't tell him!) Suddenly Aguases from all corners of the globe are coming for the event, and the last thing Martha wants is to be asked why she still prefers her lattes with a waffle on the side. Thank god for Max. Goofy, funny, dependable Max, who finds himself playing the fake boyfriend at the family festivities. But why does it feel like only one of them is pretending?"--Back cover.

If the Dress Fits

Ana Kalaw's family was bestowed with plant magic, long before she was born. And it is in Esquina, in Batangas where it's strongest. Makes sense that she moved here after the pandemic, and found her new home. But her magic's been going haywire in the weirdest way, throwing old mangoes at SUVs and sending a boy sleeping under the banaba trees. The same boy Ana seriously crushed on when she was younger, almost like she called him to her. Bas Lozano has no memory of falling asleep under the banaba trees of Esquina, but he does remember Ana. And while he's fascinated by the locked up greenhouse behind the house, he's more intrigued by her, hoping to get closer to her. Ana doesn't have a spell book for any of this. She's not even sure one exists. But she's happy to follow along, and go where the magic wants to take her. This is a cozy witch romance novella set in the Philippines, with Filipino characters.
