What it takes to be a Mother

A turn of events suddenly thrusts Xela Reyes to the world of parenting. Meet Crispin, sweet little five-year-old boy who ended up on Xela's lap—literally. As if running a café by herself wasn't hard enough. But then, Xela suddenly realized they were living in a novel and Crispin is actually the young male lead who ends up dying in a tragic accident. And Xela, is actually the poor side character who gets killed off in the early part of the novel! Reason she gets killed off? To add to the male lead's misery. Right now, they're one year away from Xela's death flag. Determined to avoid death, she strives to become a better mother for Crispin despite having little to no maternal instinct and with no sense of responsibility. Join Xela as she tries to maneuver through motherhood and death flags! #side_character #living_inside_a_novel NOTICE: This book tackles a lot about the discrepancies between modern and traditional parenting, mostly in my country: the Philippines. Well, maybe a mix of cultures too from Japan and western countries. Take this info with a grain of salt and I hope you enjoy the read!
