Compelling love triangle.

"Skimming could be a good read for fans of unconventional love stories told from different perspectives. Tham's searing honesty gives readers a deep dive into the complex relationships of the three protagonists. The unique feature of this book is the exploration of how a seemingly perfect relationship can be turned upside down with the arrival of a new person. Overall, Skimming offers a compelling and thought-provoking take on love and relationships."

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Wai Keong and Li had the perfect relationship familiar, proper, safe. Until David steps in, overturning their carefully ordered worlds.
