After the successful run of Love Books Presents Have Baby, Will Date (starring Valerie Concepcion) and No Boyfriend Since Birth (starring Alessandra De Rossi) comes the third installment in its chick-lit series: The Break-Up Diaries, airing Tuesdays 7PM, starting October 7 on TV5.

They say every love story has different phases. You date and fall in love, find your prince charming and graduate from the so-called ‘NBSB society’ (that’s “no boyfriend since birth”), and perhaps eventually be blessed with a baby. Love provides you all sorts of sweet swirling sensations all throughout its course but at the end of it all sometimes comes the incredibly hard part—The Break-Up. And it can even have its own anatomy and stages!

23 year-old barrista Monica (Nikki Gil) is struggling to cope and recover from her sudden break-up with her first boyfriend Itos (Benjamin Besa), who she happens to put on pedestal and let her whole world revolve upon. After going through the tumultuous stages of post-break-up, she finally decides to step out of the coffee counter. She sets forth to plunge herself into the glamorous and turbulent arena of magazine publishing in the hopes of both keeping herself busy, and finding a rebound-guy who will make her forget and get over the heartbreak.

Later on, Monica finds herself growing romantic feelings for their photographer Treck (Jake Cuenca) which makes a good deal of distraction that she thinks she needs. But just as she is starting to enjoy and immerse herself into her new world, everything suddenly gets all messed up at work and she then discovers that her supposedly ‘tool for distraction’ is instead, turning into a vehicle to her destruction.

Written by Maya Calica, The Break-Up Diaries provides the hopes and promise of, despite having to go through nursing a broken heart, experiencing the joys of loving once again.

Love Books is followed by 5Max Movies which feature various Hollywood blockbuster and critically-acclaimed local movies. If you miss the airing on Tuesday, you can still catch-up on the week’s episode every Sunday at 12 noon.
