Martha Aguas has it all.

a job she likes, a puppy she loves, and a wardrobe that makes her feel beautiful.

Yes, everyone tries to make her feel bad for being mataba, she can’t buy bras in the Philippines, and she’s never had a boyfriend.

But so what? It’s never mattered before. 

But when her perfect cousin Regina announces her engagement Enzo, the blast from the past boy whom she might have loved before, it suddenly feels like a big deal. Aguases from all over the globe are coming in for the engagement of the century, and the last thing Martha wants to hear is a well-meaning barb about how she should watch her weight. 

Thank god for Max. Her funny, dependable, best friend Max, who doesn’t mind playing the role of fake boyfriend for the family festivities.

But the more Martha plays along, the less it feels like pretend, and more she starts to wonder if Max had maybe loved her all along.
