!!The following tropes include:
* AllTheOtherReindeer: Both Aica and Zoe are ostracized by their classmates.
** This also applies to [[spoiler:''The Gifted'' book author, Marco in his childhood. According to Maica and Joey, he was ostracized not for his smarts but by his bad behavior and all the embarrassing things their fictional counterparts experienced was Marco's. Also Maica and Joey has fire forged friendship in real life.]].
* BasedOnATrueStory: The film is largely a narration of a book of the same name, [[spoiler: a very loose one that is]].
* BlackComedy
* FramingDevice: Most of the movie's events actually exist within a novel in the real world.
* {{Fanservice}}: Sam Milby, Anne Curtis and Cristine Reyes do not disappoint.
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: Mark and Aica seem to be this.]]
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: The premise of the film suggests this is Aica and Zoe's situation being the top two students their batch. They have nobody aside from each other. Aica's looks and Zoe's weight doesn't help but certain defining moments in their childhood led to their isolation from the rest of their class.
* InsufferableGenius: Zoe was a valedictorian of her previous school and mocks her peers for being below her intellectually. However she is ''that'' smart, being a consistent candidate for clinching the valedictorian honor in her batch in high school. A high school for gifted people that is. And she managed to admitted to an Ivy League school in the US and became a reputable neurosurgeon.
* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Post-timeskip, Aica is light while Zoe is dark.
* RichBitch: Zoe
* ShirtlessScene: Sam Milby has one towards the end.
* SignificantDoubleCasting: Sam Milby plays both Marco, the book author and Mark a hunk who became a classmate of Aica and Zoe in Marco's book. This suggest that Mark is an AuthorAvatar of Marco. This is [[spoiler:confirmed]] in the epilogue, though the book [[spoiler:isn't a faithful adaptation of a true story as purported]].
