Two amazing books in ONE amazing year. (two short book reviews in one.)

My bestfriend finally has a boyfriend. FYI, her very first after her first love “unwillingly” dumped her. She was, of course, excited about the whole boyfriend thingy and I understand it, it’s her first afterall. So we’re all excited as well. But the first meeting was unpleasant. And as I observe her and the guy, I little by little get irritated because their connection were odd and very…. awkward. I mean the guy was sooooo hyper. So hyper it’s getting on my nerves already. He’s not funny, he’s weird and not really interesting. There’s something I don’t really approve about the way he joke, the way he talked with us and with my bestfriend… He’s so ABnormal and I dislike it. He’s so pilosopo! Like he’s trying to talked like Vice Ganda and it’s the worst ever!!!!!!! He’s really trying very hard and he’s really the opposite of my bestfriend’s first love!!! The fact that he’s not funny on his “own natural way” turns me off. I wish he’s just silent or observant before he reveal his true “color” And the unforgivable on top of it was that, my bestfriend acts like she’s so proud of her boyfriend that there was an incident where she’s screaming, “Bakit mo naman ni reveal sa BOYFRIENDKO! hindi ko na nga sinasabi sa BOYFRIENDKO! blahblahblah eklaver BOYFRIEND KO!”

Okay, I get it. You’re too excited because it’s new and amazing. But will please act normal and slow down your hyperness before I knock you both on the head? MYGAAAD IT’S EMBARRASSING!

And whenever we talked, she’s always, boyfriend this and boyfriend that, boyfriend this, that boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend. Can’t she see I’m not INTERESTED? I’m not, and she can figure it out. But she just keep on talking about him and her and their moments anyway.

DEEP SIGHED. Dear Lord, forgive me for betraying my bestfriend by writing my rants about her here. Am I backstabbing her with my fingers and keyboard? I don’t think so. I just don’t …. approve her relationship with that guy. That’s all.

Uhm, this post wasn’t all about my rant to my very thrilled bestfriend having a boyfriend but about my endless love for books. If I wasn’t blessed for reading two amazing books in one year, then tell me will there be a third book?

One Day by David Nicholls and Before ever after by Samantha Sotto. I’ll tell no words. I was sweep away by this two amazing books. You should read, you should read. And don’t tell me I’m a sucker for great love stories because these two books are far different from your y’know, usual romance pocketbooks.

Dex and Em, Max and Shelley.

My God, I can’t really recover. I just finished Before ever after this afternoon and I’m soooo inspired. (Sooo inspired that I’m planning to write my thing too. But ideas are too much to handle that it made me scared coz too much excitement will lead to dismay) And the fact that a fellow Filipina is the author made me so proud of being an aspiring Filipino writer. I finished One Day a month ago and till now, I haven’t actually recovered and I can still remember the moments where I was lying in my folding bed and crying because I’m so touched of the story. And mind you, it’s all true. It’s like it happened to me or like I’m experiencing it at the moment. There were too many questions lingered in my mind and when that happens, I know I’m reading a great book.

Max and Shelley’s adventure was magical and amazing. Basilisk and Baked eggs and Max calling Shelley, ”luv” moves me. And that time when Shelley thought Sari was the new woman in Max’s life made me cry! Because I can totally feel her undying love and faith for him!!!! And the ending surprised me to the bones. You should really grab a copy now! After I read the book I found myself wondering who will be my before,ever and after…

Sorry, I can’t really make a good review for the two. 

But swear, you won’t regret it.

BBBBYYYYYYYOOOOOOONG.
