4.5

first of all, i loooove seeing bisayan rep !!!! like yes seeing filipinos in media is awesome but when i see characters who aren’t tagalog/manileños my heart grows even bigger <33

this was such a lovely book to read. it really brought me back to my childhood thinking about questions of the universe and karma and fate. and i like that it allows kids to broaden their horizons instead of limiting it to a singular answer immediately. it’s just such a cute book <333

This is a cute sweet and inspiring story about 4 kids whose paths intertwine because of a rude prank. I first read it in 4th grade as a book report and fell in love with the characters for being so different and unique, while still being relatable and having problems and perspectives I could understand, and after years and rereading it I still would recommend it.
One thing I'd mention would be that the POV changes every chapter, swapping between the 4 main characters. It took away from the story a bit at first because I'd get confused and sucked out of the story, but I got the hang of it quickly.
