Summary From The Book:

After meeting by chance, movie star, Paulo Avenida, tries to win the heart of cynical romantic, Bea Fernandez for 30 days. Is something waiting for them at the end of the 30-day deadline? Or is it all going to end in heartbreak?

My Thoughts:

When I read this book, I knew then that it also has a potential for a great Filipino movie! I can also imagine my favorite starts starring on this story. 

The book is short and a refreshing story - best to read when you are feeling like you need a change. Why? Because this book is full of realistic situations that happens in our daily life. All the quick or hard decisions that we make and how it can affect our future. 

To make the book more exciting, it also focuses on the "what could be" between Bea and Paulo. I cannot wait on how the characters would proceed as I read the plot. 

The point of view is from Bea's character and I feel like she is a typical Filipina who is just thriving to get by everyday and be successful both in career and love. 

I love both Bea and Paulo and I can really imagine this story being made into a movie. I am sure that it will make you swoon with their simple and yet romantic gestures.

My favorite scene was when Bea finally learned who is the real Paulo! But I will not be sharing with you who he is because you should read it yourself! :)

To make it short, the book is sweet and perfect for light reading. Something that will make you feel relaxed, focused, and inspired. 

I am proud that this book was written by a Filipino author. Writing stories is one of my frustrations because I do not have the talent for it that is why I also love supporting our own Filipino writers (or artists)!

As a bonus, the book comes with a soundtrack that you can hear here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtznwNCZqOU. It is also available at Spotify. It is a better experience to listen to this song while reading the book. 

My Favorite Line/s:

"Leave the past where it should be - behind you. Be brave. Leap. Leap because you know in your heart that it will be worth it no matter what. It's time to go for it."

Rating: 5/5 because I love the realistic situations shared on the book.



Recommendation: To those who wants to read something romantic and needs a focus on self-love. Plus, if you love supporting our own Filipino talented artists, make sure to read this one! :)
