Description

Annee thought her worst dreams were the ones that left her waking in tears—until the day she opens her eyes and finds herself in 1977 Manila.

Her only way back? Playing a vinyl record on her aunt’s old turntable. The catch? The record hasn’t even been released yet. Stranded in a world without mobile phones or Google Maps—and under the watchful eye of Martial Law—Annee’s modern sensibilities clash with the quirks of a past she never expected.

But as she begins to embrace life in the 1970s, Annee discovers unexpected joys: a slower pace, newfound friendships, and moments of laugh-out-loud absurdity. And then there’s him—the boy with a heart as warm as the Manila sun.

As the time to return home draws near, Annee face an impossible choice: to return to the future she’s always known or stay in a past that’s starting to feel like home.
