SMILE FOR THE CAMERA FILAM REP EVERNIGHT TEEN GOOD GIRL PHOTOGRAPHER/ BAD BOY GUITARIST COZY READ THAT FEELS LIKE A WARM HUG SLOW BURN SUMMER ROMANCE STRICT BUT WELL-MEANING PARENTS AND TOUGH LOVE OLDER SISTER JENNY HAN VIBES FMC FACES EVERY INTROVERT'S BIGGEST FEAR: PUBLIC SPEAKING SHE SHOWS HIM HER PHOTOS + HE SHOWS HER HIS MUSIC TRISH CARAGAN OCTOBER 16, 2026 The Blurb Filipina-American Emilyn Padilla has a secret. While her parents believe their daughter is following her older sister Aprilette's path toward medical school, Emilyn is actually preparing for a photography competition that could win her a scholarship to art school. Science makes Aprilette shine; through a camera lens, Emilyn finally sees herself clearly. Every week, she slips away to develop her portfolio and rehearse her presentation with Jase, a guitarist whose calloused fingertips brush against her photographs with the same reverence she feels listening to his music. Her parents think she's volunteering at the hospital and cramming for the SATs, never suspecting she's learning to stand before strangers and speak about the images that make her pulse quicken. This summer tastes like freedom, but leaves a question lingering: What costs more; sacrificing your passion or breaking your parents' hearts?

In center, there’s a quote with white background that says “When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump, otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life.” First row: Girl in blue dress holding camera with trees, sky, and street in background. Second image is girl holding camera in front of her face and the sun shining behind her. Third image is of three photos beside the bottom corner of a Mac laptop. Second row: Boy with red shirt plays guitar to dark-haired girl, and they’re sitting on a brick ground with trees and buildings in background. Third image is of boy and girl standing in front of backgrounds watching sunrise. Third row: Boy playing electric guitar with speaker in background. Second image is boy playing guitar with back turned to camera, sunset clouds in background. Third image is iPhone laying with black earphones plugged in.
