Book Review: The Three Lives of Cate Kay

There’s something about this book that’s both lovely and disorienting. Is it because of the numerous POVs? Is it because it feels more like of a memoir than your typical novel? Or is it because our protagonist still seems an enigmatic person even until the very end? As someone who prefers SFFs and RomCom stories, the Three Lives of Cate Kay felt so new to me that reading the first few chapters felt weird. At some point, I did ask myself whether I downloaded the correct file because I expected something typical only to be handed with a story centering…

I wish I could fully articulate my feeling about this book because it’s just different from the other contemporary books that I’ve read.

I’m glad that I picked Something Rotten because it gave my brain a new stimulation that’s not focused on who’s gonna usurp someone’s kingdom or will the boy/girl of destiny fulfil the prophecy. Something Rotten is not your typical contemporary-couple story…

Book Review: With This Ring

Though With This Ring screams like it’s your typical finding-each-other-again romance which it really is, the entertainment that it gave me is still priceless. With This Ring reminded me of those days when I just want to let go of all my stress, go to the beach or to a secluded cabin, stay there, watch a no-brainer romcom, be oblivious to anything else and just savor every moment that you are there. Imagine yourself simply enjoying a good read without straining your mind just to fathom its intellectual depth. With This Ring gave me such experience; adorable main characters, a…
