have read: star craving mad


this was my weekend read. at vintage chick lit siya. as in vintage with a capital V! like the girl ends up with the friend na hindi niya pinapansin pero matagal ng may crush sa kanya. my god! akala ko pa naman fairy tale story ko to. as in the teacher ends up with the hollywood king. oh well. masyado yata akong nagexpect sa kakayahan ng author. kasi may mga instances na akala ko foreshadowing ganun, tas habang binabasa ko pa nga, naisip ko, hindi masyadong malinis tong author na magforeshadow kaya lang, hindi pala yun talaga foreshadowing at all. haha. medyo may promise ang novel na ito sa simula kaya lang parang major let down talaga ang bandang huli. hindi naman abrupt pero parang so-so. kung movie to, im sure hindi ito favorite ng mga critics. as in, B movie ganun. although in fairness, maganda ang epilogue. favorite page ko yun. but all the others, humdrum. even the characterization, hindi rin maganda. i think pwedeng mas maganda ang characterization ni michelle or even james or rachel. hay naku. this book disappointed me. saka may isyu ako sa chick lit, bakit hindi siya fairy tale like? why does the girl always have to end up with the friend?
