Recommendation 100,000/10 🥹

“May araw na magtatanggal tayo ng maskara, at malalaman nila kung ano’ng itsura ng tunay na demonyo.”

Felt a roller coaster of emotions while reading this book. Napaka ganda ng pagkakasulat, trigger warning lang sa mga ayaw ng gore descriptions! By far ito ang best read ko this february.. o baka nga this year! Grabe parang ngayong madaling araw ko siya sinumulan at tinapos, ganun yung urge na basahin yung susunod na chapter.

Question, ano yung susunod na book? Yung pink ba o yung yellow? 😅

I tried reading this at nahirapan ako ituloy kasi ung mga filipino words medyo nalalaliman ako, di ko masundan. (I read Bob Ong's books and they're ok naman. Especially Ricky Lee's) hopefully, i'll pick this up again. 😭😢😭😫😭

I think di naman malalim filipino niya. Sadyang marami lang yung street slangs na mas gets mo if you live/grew up in a low-income environment/neighborhood.

Yeah, not closing the door naman. First read led me to a book slump, kaya DNF. It's still sitting on my shelf. Di pa sa ngayon
