Wicked

by Rose Tan

She was angry. Abandoned at birth, abused, illiterate, and betrayed by the only man she loved and trusted—Larcy vowed revenge.

Gaganti si Larcy sa lahat ng taong sumalbahe sa kanya. Unang-una na roon ang kanyang ina. Nang malaman niya kung sino ito, nagpakilala siya upang maging bahagi ng pamilya nito. Sa ganoong paraan, unti-unti niyang masisira ang masayang tahanan ng walang kuwentang babaeng nagtakwil sa kanya. Pero dahil doon, nagtagpo uli ang landas nila ni James—the man who betrayed her trust, her love. And he was acting like nothing happened. The son of a gun had moved on!

Well, she hadn’t. And James will pay also. But first, she needed his help.

And if he’d only stop singing… Maybe this time…

"I loved you at first sight. I will love you at the last... If your face is the last thing that I will see, then I'll know, heaven is real. Goodbye, Larcy." — Alex

I know Alex is not the hero on this. But gee. I so love that man!

A must read book! At first, I thought it would be like Ang awit ni Diyosa (tama ba yung title?) Whatever. It reminds me of that book because may konting similarities yung story. And I got depressed on that book, btw. It was good, I wont get affected by the story if it was not beautifully written. But this. Wicked is so much MORE. A roller coaster of emotions. It'll make you laugh out loud, cry, and appreciate each characters. I can picture every scenes and I felt like I'm one of them. Unputdownable! Hands down to Miss Rose Tan, always.

I've read so much positive reviews about this book kaya ko binili ito... And good thing, nagpadala ako sa positive reviews na `yun. This book is a MUST READ. (Capslock para intense! Ha-ha!) First chapter pa lang, ang bigat na ng dibdib ko... Ramdam na ramdam ko kasi `yung emotion. Ang sakit sa puso noong kabataan ni Larcy. But I liked her as a heroine. She's wicked yet I can fully understand her. Sayang lang, namatay si Alex. Dapat napunta na lang siya sa akin. Charot!

Gusto ko rin `yung mystery about doon sa totoo niyang ama. Nahulaan ko kasi. Ahahaha! Madalas kong nagugustuhan `yung libro na may mystery tapos tatama `yung hula ko. Nagka-hint ako dahil sa dyslexia problem ni Larcy. :P

Sabi ko nga sa Instagram when I posted a pic of this book there, well, okay, kokopyahin ko na lang dahil tinatamad ako:

I've already read more than a hundred #Tagalog #novels. Truth is I really don't expect much from them. But this one is just so #good. Just #wow. It gave me that capital-F Feeling that I feel if the #book I just #read is really #good. #RoseTan, you're a genius! #goodreads #goodread #books #book #bookworm #phr

Ito na ang pinakapaborito kong Tagalog novel. Swear. Sobrang ganda talaga. Grabe.

Grabe, ´di ko in-expect ito from Miss Rose dahil alam naman nating rom-com talaga ang expertise niya, though may iilang drama din naman akong nabasa noon na naipagpalit ko and mga gawa niya noong 90´s. Kaso na-curious talaga ako sa mga reviews ninyo and this one's indeed a MUST READ!

It was a different attacked by the usual rose tan! Some kind of magic and very hypnotic. Loved it! You should try this one ...

Ang ganda ng story na to! Nakakaiyak. Ang daming pinagdaanan ng bida pero nagawa niyang lagpasan. Napakatatag niya. Hindi naging hadlang yung sakit niya para umunlad. Nakakahanga. :")
