Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala
1.0
Most books I forget reading after a spell; a few I remember because they were profound; a few, like this one, I remember because of how painfully bad it was. My agony and suffering was only further accentuated and prolonged by my poor decision to listen to this as an audiobook on a long road trip. So many regrets.
Aside from just being painfully unrealistic in regards to the legal process and having painfully one-dimensional Mary-Sue characters, there's just something very tonally deaf about finding someone murdered on the floor and the next page waxing poetic about your over-the-top sensory experience biting into a delicious ube crinkle cookie. WTF?
