"A story of teenage school crises, boy troubles and party dilemmas."

It has been a while since I read an actual book (not counting my Ebook copies), let alone of relating to teens and lovey-dovey heartbreak feelings. Blame my busy work schedule and my laziness to find a good book in one of my fave places to be which I have to add have not been visited by myself for a while, bookstores! It’s my definition of heaven on earth, the feeling of contentment you get when you enter a bookstore and that moment when you find the book that was totally meant for you, the new book smell when you flip the pages is like hallelujah in your smelling senses, the deeper you get into the story, the more you want it to not end and just enter that world of pure genius in prose these iconic authors have bestowed upon us. Ok, nuff about my reverence to these books and authors, back to the real topic ahead of us.

I’d have to owe Ms. Ines Bautista Yao for opening up my senses again. Now I remember why I love books before, more than I love movies now. I am not about to give out the entire plot of the book for that would be unfair to Ms. Yao and her copyright privileges especially now that I owe her snapping me back to my bookworm senses again.

If you wanna feel like a hopeless miss daydreamer, a gal with confused senses between two boys, a defensive and scared heart trying not to fall but eventually gave up its defenses, a fight between the heart and the mind that ended up breaking the guy’s heart, a spontaneous act of getting the guy back and the giddy feeling of having him by your side, all of these in just one sitting, a 3 hour sitting at most, then you better go to the nearest bookstore right now and get a copy.

And to mash up all of those feelings felt by the main character above, Ms. Yao had to add a cupful of true friendship, a dash of the knight in shining armor bad boy, a sprinkle of drinks and parties to make it more entertaining, a touch of a fashionable geeky boy-next-door and a pinch of college internship scrape, all combined to make one heck of an emotional yet truly believable teenage love affair.

A good book is where your imagination clouds your senses and makes you feel, breathe and think like the character in the book. It is when you want to just jump into the book and replace the main character’s life.
