"Who will win this clash?"
It's funny that when you enter in every National Bookstore branches, you see in the Philippines that there's this familiar publishing book company known as Pop Fiction. Well, you can say you never heard of them but their books aren't exactly the type of sizes many exported books had had. Just so you know, they publish the most popular and viewed stories from either Wattpad or Candy Magazine.
I know. One of my friends is an avid Pop Fiction fan and she collects every single one of them. She told me that these stories were fantastic. I'm curious as always so I decided to give at least a try to read one of them which is called Teen Clash.
Teen Clash. It's not a battle where teens use weapons. (I'd wish that would be another published story.) Rather it's a war to see who'll rule Kingdom High(their school) between the boys and the girls. Actually, the clash had already begun before not until the assuming real clash came when all of a sudden -- four new transferees, Ayumi, Sabrina, Yannie, and Zoe made their decision to move and study there until they had caught the attention of the boys -- Ice, Xander, Josh, and Ken.
It started off with silly pranks and nasty insults until the war lasted for only thirteen chapters when they realized their manager friend's bar, where they all play as bands for gigs on separate schedules, had suddenly began to shut down due to a lack of fee and they decide to work together.
Of course, it's an obvious but predictable love story between four couples in one book. You can already tell that these main characters will be paired up. But that's usually the main reason why I adored this book because I loved them for being witty, crazy, and funny.
I thought it's going to be fun since I always think that all Pop Fiction books were going to be in English, but I never expected that this story has been written in Tagalog. I'm so glad that I'm a Filipino since I was able to understand everything especially the characters' thoughts and backgrounds, which not all of them were explored. It's surprising that this was my personal favorite Pop Fiction book.
After reading this book the second time around, I just still wish the clash will be a lot longer for it to be more entertaining. The whole group friendship thing was a huge plus because that's what made the eight teens grew more closer and unseparable. There's no other Pop Fiction I can read other than reading this wonderful and unputdownable book.
