First of all, thanks to Shai for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review. I’m not a romcom fan, and I’m possibly one of the most anti-romantic people out there, but this went way beyond my expectations as a reader, and I loved every single word poured into writing this book!
KINIKILIG PA RIN AKO GRABE TALAGA
Better than The Movies meets Love Next Door in this lighthearted and humorous read about two childhood frenemies unexpectedly becoming something more in the most cliché way possible. I cannot even begin to describe how much I relished in Jaslene and Marlon’s story. Ang ganda ng pagkakasulat ng kwento and I am not exaggerating. I received a deliciously satisfying slowburn. Shai really took her time giving us build-up instead of the insta-love that I so despise. The MMC was sweet and in his own way, perfectly contrasting the FMC who wears her heart out on her sleeve. For my hopeless romantics out there, y’all deserve this so much!
It also warmed my heart to read about my culture and heritage represented in literature. This book was not only one to give you butterflies, but it is loudly centered on family and the Asian diaspora. Anyone reading this could feel the writer’s love of being Filipino <3 I highly recommend this charming romcom to binge and scream about!
